Context of Ezekiel 16:42

40They will also incite a crowd against you and they will stone you and slaughter you with their swords. 41They will burn down your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women (Gentile nations). Then I will make you cease your prostitution, and you will no longer hire your lovers. So I will calm My wrath toward you and My jealousy [resulting from being denied what is rightfully and uniquely mine] will turn away from you; I will be pacified and no longer angry. 43Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me with all these things, therefore, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head,” says the Lord God, “so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other repulsive acts. 44“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
