Rashi, on Ezek 16:50

Rashi · 1040–1105
Ezek 16:50 · Douay-Rheims
“And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.”
On this verse:
“And they became haughty She and her daughters, as is delineated in Job (28:5): “A land from which bread emerged,” and the entire piece (ibid. 4-9). [The Sodomites grew in haughtiness] until they said, “Let us cause the habit of traveling [lit. the foot] to be forgotten from our land, for they come only to cause us loss.” and I removed them when I saw their way, as the matter that is stated regarding Sodom (Gen. 18:21): “I shall go down and see.””
