Ezekiel 16:37-44

37therefore, behold, I am going to 1gather all your lovers whom you pleased, all those whom you loved as well as all those whom you 2hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and 3expose your nakedness to them so that they may see all your nakedness. 38So I will 4judge you as women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of 5wrath and jealousy. 39I will also hand you over to 6your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, 7strip you of your clothing, take away your 8jewels, and will leave you naked and bare. 40They will 9incite a 10crowd against you, and they will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. 41And they will 11burn your houses with fire and execute judgments against you in the sight of many women. Then I will 12put an end to your prostitution, and you will also no longer pay 13your lovers. 42So I 14will satisfy My fury against you and My jealousy will leave you, and I will be pacified and 15no longer be angry. 43Since you have 16not remembered the days of your youth but 17have 18caused Me unrest by all these things, behold, I in turn will 19bring your conduct down on your own head,” declares the Lord God, “so that you will not commit this outrageous sin in addition to all your other abominations.

44“Behold, everyone who quotes 20proverbs will quote this proverb about you, saying, ‘Like 21mother, like daughter.’
