In context

50And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw fit.

51Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine iniquities beyond them, and thou hast justified thy sisters in all thine iniquities which thou hast committed.

— Ezekiel 16:52 —

53And I will turn their captivity, even the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn thy captivity in the midst of them:

54that thou mayest bear thy punishment, and be dishonored for all that thou hast done in provoking me to anger.
