Revelation 11: 8 And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Question: what are the passages when Israel or Jerusalem is called Sodom?

What are the passages when Israel or Jerusalem is called Egypt?

Perhaps I should say: Is Jerusalem or Israel ever called Egypt and Sodom?

Or, Is Judah or any part of the Jewish people ever called by those names?

THANKS!!!

As you know Sodom, Egypt, etc were bad places. As the Jews became more and more sinful though the years the Prophets of the OT started applying those names to the Israelites. Do a word search at biblegateway.com or drbo.org and you will see tons of references.

I am looking for passages in O. T. that calls Jerusalem Sodom or Egypt.

I want the actual passage.

I have searched.

I have not found one on my own.

I need the actual passage(s).

Thanks!
 
Jeremiah 23:14 But among Jerusalem’s prophets I saw deeds still more shocking: Adultery, living in lies, siding with the wicked, so that no one turns from evil; To me they are all like Sodom, its citizens like Gomorrah.
 
They are called Sodom and Gomorrha in the book of Isaiah:

"Except the Lord of hosts had left us seed, we had been as Sodom, and we should have been like to Gomorrha. Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom, give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrha…"

Isaiah 1:9-10
