Context of Ezekiel 16:42

40They will bring a crowd of people to attack you. They will throw stones at you. They will cut you in pieces with their swords. 41They will use fire to destroy your houses. Many women will watch while those people punish you. I will stop you from having sex as a prostitute. You will no longer pay men to have sex with you. I will continue to punish you until I am no longer angry with you. I will not be upset or angry any more. 43The Almighty Lord says this: I am punishing you as you deserve for all the things that you have done. You have forgotten how I helped you when you were young. You have done many disgusting things and you have also lived like a prostitute. 44Look! Everyone says that this proverb is true about you: A daughter will do the same things that her mother does.
