In context

44These are all the things they have spoken against thee in a proverb, saying,

45As is the mother, so is thy mother’s daughter: thou art she that has rejected her husband and her children; and the sisters of thy sisters have rejected their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

— Ezekiel 16:46 —

47Yet notwithstanding thou hast not walked in their ways, neither hast thou done according to their iniquities within a little, but thou hast exceeded them in all thy ways.

48As I live, saith the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as thou and thy daughters have done.
