Ezekiel 16:44-58

44BeholdH2009, allH3605 who speak in proverbsH4911 will quote this proverbH4911H559 about youH5921:

45YouH859 are the daughterH1323 of your motherH517, who despisedH1602 her husbandH376 and childrenH1121. YouH859 are the sisterH269 of your sistersH269, whoH834 despisedH1602 their husbandsH582 and childrenH1121. Your motherH517 was a HittiteH2850 and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567. 46Your olderH1419 sisterH269 was SamariaH8111, whoH1931 livedH3427 with her daughtersH1323 toH5921 your northH8040; and your youngerH6996 sisterH269 was SodomH5467, who livedH3427 with her daughtersH1323 toH4480 your southH3225. 47And you not onlyH3808 walkedH1980 in their waysH1870 and practicedH6213 their abominationsH8441, but soon you wereH4592H6985 more depraved than they wereH7843.

48As surely as IH589 liveH2416, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, your sisterH269H1931 SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323 neverH518 didH6213 asH834 youH859 and your daughtersH1323 have doneH6213. 49NowH2009 thisH2088 wasH1961 the iniquityH5771 of your sisterH269 SodomH5467: She and her daughtersH1323H3027 wereH1961 arrogantH1347, overfedH7653H3899, and complacentH8252H7962; they did notH3808 helpH2388 the poorH6041 and needyH34. 50Thus they were haughtyH1361 and committedH6213 abominationsH8441 before MeH6440. Therefore I removedH5493 themH853, asH834 you have seenH7200.1

51Furthermore, SamariaH8111 did notH3808 commitH2398 halfH2677 the sins you didH2403. You have multipliedH7235 your abominationsH8441 beyond theirs, and allH3605 the abominationsH8441 you have committedH6213 have made your sistersH269 appear righteousH6663. 52So nowH1571 youH859 must bearH5375 your disgraceH3639, sinceH834 you have brought justificationH6419 for your sistersH269. For they appear more righteousH6663 than youH4480, because your sinsH2403 were more vileH8581 than theirs. So youH859 tooH1571 must bearH5375 your shameH954 and disgraceH3639, since you have made your sistersH269 appear righteousH6663.

53But I will restoreH7725 SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323 from captivityH7622,2 as well asH7622 SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323. And I will restore youH7622 along with themH8432. 54SoH4616 you will bearH5375 your disgraceH3639 and be ashamedH3637 of allH3605 you didH6213 to comfort themH5162.

55And your sistersH269, SodomH5467 with her daughtersH1323 and SamariaH8111 with her daughtersH1323, will returnH7725 to their former stateH6927. YouH859 and your daughtersH1323H7725H6927 will also returnH7725 to your former stateH6927. 56Did you notH3808 treatH1961H6310 your sisterH269 SodomH5467 as an object of scornH8052 in the dayH3117 of your prideH1347, 57beforeH2962 your wickednessH7451 was uncoveredH1540? Even soH3644, you are nowH6256 scornedH2781 by the daughtersH1323 of EdomH7583 and allH3605 those around herH5439, and by the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430—all those around youH5439 who despiseH7590 youH853. 58YouH859 will bear the consequencesH5375 of your lewdnessH2154 andH853 your abominationsH8441, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.
