Kommentar zu Jechezkiel 16:51
וְשֹׁ֣מְר֔וֹן כַּחֲצִ֥י חַטֹּאתַ֖יִךְ לֹ֣א חָטָ֑אָה וַתַּרְבִּ֤י אֶת־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַ֙יִךְ֙ מֵהֵ֔נָּה וַתְּצַדְּקִי֙ אֶת־אחותך [אֲחוֹתַ֔יִךְ] בְּכָל־תּוֹעֲבוֹתַ֖יִךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עשיתי [עָשִֽׂית׃]
Weder hat Samaria auch nur die Hälfte deiner Sünden begangen; aber du hast deine Greuel mehr vervielfacht als sie und deine Schwestern durch alle deine Greuel gerechtfertigt, die du getan hast.
Rashi on Ezekiel
and you vindicated your sisters Before you had committed abominations more than they, they would have been a judged guilty, but since you became more wicked than they, you made them [appear] as righteous women, and you gave them an excuse to say, “There are some who have provoked you more than I.”
