“As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.” Ezekiel 16 v48
Speaking to the nation which turns away from God, in this case Israel, and it goes on…
“And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel; And say, Thus saith the Lord God; …A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar: He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants. He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree. And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. … There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation. It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine. …Say thou, Thus saith the Lord God; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut of the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even with great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.” from the book of Ezekiel
