Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezekiel 16:49

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom; Pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of Idleness was in her, and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Iniquity either for iniquities, or the fountain and occasion of all amongst the Sodomit[illegible: 1 letter]s.

An haughty mind swell'd with the Excellency, Beauty, and Grandeur of their State, and vaunting of it above their Neighbours.

i. e. Luxury, and riotous excess in Eating and Drinking: Their plenty was not their sin, but they made it occasion of sin to themselves: They were very intemperate in their Diet.

Every thing so plentiful, that they little regarded to employ themselves, but were idle and sloathful, or deeply secure in their peace, plenty, and honour, neither fear'd God's wrath or mans Sword; the first was the fault of particular sinners, the latter was the sin and fault of the Community.

She refused to help Strangers, as appeareth in the History of the Angels entertainment; Gen. 19. nor was she mindful of helping the poor with counsel and defence, they were unmerciful, and hard hearted toward the poor amongst them; this was a great sin to those that abounded in Wealth, as the Sodomites did.
