George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 16:51

“And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.”

“Justified, as they are comparatively innocent. (St. Augustine, contra Faust. xxii. 61.) — They had not the like advantages, (Matthew xi. 23.) nor the example of others’ punishment to open their eyes. Thou hast pleaded for or with them, and hast lost thy cause. (Calmet)”
