Ezekiel 16:46-55
46Now your 1olderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, who livesH3427 2northH8040 of you with her 3daughtersH1323; and your youngerH6996 sisterH269, who livesH3427 4southH3225 of you, is 5SodomH5467 with her 6daughtersH1323. 47Yet you have not merely walkedH1980 in their waysH1870 or doneH6213 according to their abominationsH8441; but, as if that were 7tooH6985 littleH4592, you actedH7843 8moreH4480 corruptlyH7843 in allH3605 your conductH1870 thanH4480 they. 48As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “SodomH5467, your sisterH269 and her daughtersH1323 have 9not doneH6213 as you and your daughtersH1323 have doneH6213. 49BeholdH2009, thisH2088 was the guiltH5771 of your sisterH269 SodomH5467: she and her daughtersH1323 hadH1961 10arroganceH1347, 11abundantH7654 foodH3899 and 12carelessH8252 easeH7962, but she did not 13helpH2388H3027 the 14poorH6041 and needyH34. 50Thus they were haughtyH1361 and committedH6213 15abominationsH8441 beforeH6440 Me. Therefore I 16removedH5493 them 17whenH3512 I sawH7200 it. 51Furthermore, SamariaH8111 did not commitH2398 halfH2677 of your sinsH2403, for you have multipliedH7235 your abominationsH8441 moreH4480 thanH4480 they. Thus you have madeH6663 your sistersH269 appear 18righteousH6663 by allH3605 your abominationsH8441 whichH834 you have committedH6213. 52AlsoH1571 bearH5375 your disgraceH3639 in that you have 19madeH6419 judgmentH6419 favorableH6419 for your sistersH269. Because of your sinsH2403 in whichH834 you actedH8581 20moreH4480 abominablyH8581 thanH4480 they, they are moreH4480 in the rightH6663 thanH4480 you. YesH1571, be alsoH1571 ashamedH954 and bearH5375 your disgraceH3639, in that you madeH6663 your sistersH269 appear righteousH6663.
53“Nevertheless, I will restoreH7725 their captivityH7622, the captivityH7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, the captivityH7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, and 21alongH8432 with them 22your ownH7622 captivityH7622, 54in orderH4616 that you may bearH5375 your humiliationH3639 and feelH3637 23ashamedH3637 for allH3605 that you have doneH6213 when you becomeH5162 24a consolationH5162 to them. 55Your sistersH269, SodomH5467 with her daughtersH1323 and SamariaH8111 with her daughtersH1323, 25will returnH7725 to their formerH6927 stateH6927, and you with your daughtersH1323 will also returnH7725 to your formerH6927 stateH6927.
