And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Ezekiel, written during the Babylonian exile around the 6th century BC, the prophet uses a vivid metaphor to portray Jerusalem as an unfaithful wife, highlighting God's judgment on its sins. Samaria, the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel, is called the elder sister because it had already been destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 BC due to idolatry and moral corruption. Sodom, known from Genesis for its extreme wickedness and subsequent divine destruction, is depicted as the younger sister to emphasize that Jerusalem's behavior was even more reprehensible than these infamous examples.
