Commentary for Ezekiel 16:54

לְמַ֙עַן֙ תִּשְׂאִ֣י כְלִמָּתֵ֔ךְ וְנִכְלַ֕מְתְּ מִכֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֑ית בְּנַחֲמֵ֖ךְ אֹתָֽן׃

that thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be ashamed because of all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

Rashi on Ezekiel

in that you consoled them when you became more wicked than they, and you gave them an excuse [to neglect righteousness]. Another explanation: in that you consoled them When the evil comes upon you, they will be consoled, saying, We have not suffered alone.
