Ezekiel 16:45-63

Chapter 16
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and her sons, and the sister of your sister, who despised her men and their sons; your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite. 46 Your older sister is Samaria, she and her daughters, who sit on your left; and your younger sister, who sits on your right, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 And you did not walk in their ways, and you did their abominations only a little, and you prostituted yourself more than they did in all your ways. 48 "As I live, declares the Lord GOD, if Sodom your sister, she and her daughters, has done as you and your daughters have done." 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of Sodom your sister: arrogance, satiety of bread, and security of quiet. It was to her and her daughters, and the hand of the poor and needy she did not strengthen. 50 And they were haughty and they did abomination before me, and I removed her just as I saw. 51 And Samaria did not sin as half of your sins, and you multiplied your abominations from her, and you justified your sisters by all your abominations that you did. 52 Also you have borne your reproach which you hurled at your sister in your sin offerings which you have detested more than they—they will be righteous from you. And also you bear shame and bear your reproach in your righteousness, your sisters. 53 And I will restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captivity in their midst. 54 In order that you bear your entire disgrace and be disgraced from all that you did, in your comforting I will give. 55 And your sisters Sodom and her daughters will dwell in their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters will dwell in their former estate, and you and your daughters will dwell in your former estate. 56 And Sodom your sister was not a rumor in your mouth in the day of your pride. 57 Before your moral evil was revealed—not like the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all her surrounding areas, the daughters of the Philistines, the ones despising you all around. 58 Your lewdness and your abominations—you have borne them, declares the LORD. 59 For thus says the Lord GOD: I will do to you just as you did, you who despised God to break the covenant. 60 And I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an eternal covenant. 61 And you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both greater than you and smaller than you, and I will give them to you for daughters, not from your covenant. 62 And I will establish my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD. 63 so that you remember and are ashamed, and you have no more opening of mouth because of your disgrace, when I atone for you for all that you did, declares the Lord GOD.
