Context of Ezekiel 16:59

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. “ ‘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.
