Charles Ellicott Commentary Ezekiel 16:49

"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom: pride, fulness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." — Ezekiel 16:49 (ASV)

Pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness. —The description strikes at the causes rather than the overt acts of sin, and the unnatural crimes which are always associated in our minds with the name of Sodom are not mentioned. It is noticeable, however, that the distinct sin which is mentioned in this passage is the negative one too common in all ages, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
