Its very bad idea to single out a few paragraphs and then compare what they mean in context of each other, and not the entire pariabile they wer pulled from.
For example, I can very easily say that if you dont invest your money and increase its value, then you will be cast out by god that way.
Ezikil 16 is about God holding up a mirror to the Jews so they can see themselves as He sees them. The grace of God is met with ingratitude, indifference and abomination.
It's a culture map and a history book.

No. There is no parable. God straight up tells them he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their transgressions, but he sparing Jerusalem who make the Sodomites look "justified" in his eyes.
