God’s Word Translation
Ezekiel 16:53-63
53“ ‘I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and Samaria and her daughters. I will also restore your fortune along with theirs.
54You will have to suffer disgrace and be ashamed of everything you have done, including comforting them.
55When Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters return to what they once were, you and your daughters will return to what you once were.
56You didn’t mention your sister Sodom when you were arrogant.
57You didn’t mention her before your wickedness was revealed. Now the daughters of Aram and their neighbors despise you. The daughters of the Philistines also despise you. Those around you hate you.
58You must suffer because of all the crude and disgusting things you have done, declares the Lord.
59“ ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says: I will give you what you deserve. You despised your marriage vows and rejected my promise.
60I will remember the promise that I made with you when you were young, and I will make it a promise that will last forever.
61Then you will remember what you have done. You will be ashamed when I return your older and younger sisters to you. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of my promise with you.
62Then I will make my promise with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.
63You will remember and be ashamed. You will never again open your mouth because of your disgrace when I forgive you for everything you did, declares the Almighty Lord.’ ”
