Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

Verse 47 is found in chapter 16 of Ezekiel. The proverbs about mother and daughters are applied to Jerusalem and her relationships with Samaria and Sodom. The comparison does not minimize the guilt of the other cities but shows that Jerusalem came to reproduce and even surpass behaviors she had previously condemned.

wiewohl du dennoch nicht gelebt hast nach ihrem Wesen noch getan nach ihren Greueln. Es fehlt nicht viel, daß du es ärger gemacht hast denn sie in allem deinem Wesen.
Y aun no anduviste en sus caminos, ni hiciste según sus abominaciones; antes, como si esto fuera poco y muy poco, te corrompiste más que ellas en todos tus caminos.
Tu n'as pas seulement marché dans leurs voies, commis les mêmes abominations, c'était trop peu; tu as été plus corrompue qu'elles dans toutes tes voies.
Ed anche non sei camminata nelle lor vie, e non hai fatto secondo le loro abbominazioni, come se ciò fosse stata piccola e leggier cosa; anzi ti sei corrotta in tutte le tue vie, più che esse.
Todavia não andaste nos seus caminhos, nem fizeste conforme as suas abominações; mas como se isto fora mui pouco, ainda te corrompeste mais do que elas, em todos os teus caminhos.
你不只效法她們的行為,照她們可憎的事去做,不消多時 ,你所做的一切就比她們更惡。
