Exegesis
A parallel structure appears between bedarkheihen halakht {בְּדַרְכֵיהֶן הָלַכְתְּ | bə-ḏar-kā-hên hā-lākht} and uvetoavoteihen asit {וּבְתוֹעֲבֹתֵיהֶן עָשִׂית | ū-və-ṯō-ʿă-ḇō-ṯê-hên ʿā-śît}, reinforcing the behavioral contrast.
In context — Ezekiel 16:47
And you did not walk in their ways, nor did you do according to their abominations ; but as if that were a very small thing, you corrupted yourself more than they in all your ways.
