Ezekiel 16:53-63
53“Nevertheless, I will restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and 1along with them 2your own captivity, 54in order that you may bear your humiliation and feel 3ashamed for all that you have done when you become 4a consolation to them. 55Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, 5will return to their former state, and you with your daughters will also return to your former state. 56As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride, 57before your 6wickedness was uncovered, 7so now you have become the 8reproach of the daughters of 9Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you. 58You have 10borne the penalty of your lewdness and abominations,” the Lord declares. 59For thus says the Lord God, “I will also do with you as you have done, you who have 11despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
60“Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an 12everlasting covenant with you. 61Then you will 13remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant. 62Thus I will 14establish My covenant with you, and you shall 15know that I am the Lord, 63so that you may 16remember and be ashamed and 17never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have 18forgiven you for all that you have done,” the Lord God declares.
