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.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread - inherited by Moab, her offspring (Isaiah 16:6; Jeremiah 48:26; Jeremiah 48:29), and by Ammon (Jeremiah 49:4). God, the heart-searcher, here specifies as Sodom's sin, not merely her notorious lusts, but the secret spring of them, "pride," flowing from "fulness of bread" caused by the fertility of the soil (Genesis 13:10), and producing "idleness."
And abundance of idleness - literally, the secure carelessness of ease or idleness.
Neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor. Pride is always cruel; it arrogates to itself all things, and despises brethren-for whose needs it therefore has no feeling; as Moab had not for the outcast Jews (Isaiah 16:3-4; Jeremiah 48:27; Luke 16:19-21; James 5:1-5).
