Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ezekiel 16:49

_ _ pride — inherited by Moab, her offspring (Isaiah 16:6; Jeremiah 48:26), 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 “fullness of bread,” caused by the fertility of the soil (Genesis 13:10), and producing “idleness.”

_ _ abundance of idleness — literally, “the secure carelessness of ease” or idleness.

_ _ neither did she strengthen ... 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, Isaiah 16:4; Jeremiah 48:27; Luke 16:19-21; James 5:1-5).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 16:44-59.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 16:49

This was — The fountain and occasion of all. Fulness of bread — Excess in eating and drinking. Strengthen — She refused to help strangers.
