On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And, when the iniquity of Jerusalem is more aggravated than that of Sodom, no wonder that the punishment of it is so. Sodom never had the means of grace the Jerusalem had, the oracles of God and his prophets, and therefore the condemnation of Jerusalem will be more intolerable than that of Sodom, Matt. xi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Of Sodom - Their punishment was greater, because more lingering, and gradual, whereas Sodom was overthrown in a moment, and that by no human hands that abode upon her, causing her a continued torment.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
