Ezekiel 16:44-59

44“BeholdH2009, everyoneH3605 who quotesH4911 1proverbsH4911 will quoteH4911 this proverbH4911 aboutH5921 you, sayingH559, ‘Like 2motherH517, like daughterH1323.’ 45You are the daughterH1323 of your motherH517, who loathedH1602 her husbandH376 and childrenH1121. You are also the 3sisterH269 of your sistersH269, whoH834 4loathedH1602 their husbandsH376 and childrenH1121. Your motherH517 was a HittiteH2850 and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567. 46Now your 5olderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, who livesH3427 6northH8040 of you with her 7daughtersH1323; and your youngerH6996 sisterH269, who livesH3427 8southH3225 of you, is 9SodomH5467 with her 10daughtersH1323. 47Yet you have not merely walkedH1980 in their waysH1870 and 11committedH6213 their abominationsH8441; but, as if that were 12tooH6985 littleH4592, you also actedH7843 13moreH4480 corruptlyH7843 in allH3605 your conductH1870 thanH4480 they. 48As I liveH2416,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “SodomH5467, your sisterH269 and her daughtersH1323 have 14not doneH6213 as you and your daughtersH1323 have doneH6213! 49BeholdH2009, thisH2088 was the guiltH5771 of your sisterH269 SodomH5467: she and her daughtersH1323 hadH1961 15arroganceH1347, 16plentyH7654 of foodH3899, and 17carefreeH8252 easeH7962, but she did not 18helpH2388H3027 the 19poorH6041 and needyH34. 50So they wereH1361 haughtyH1361 and committedH6213 20abominationsH8441 beforeH6440 Me. Therefore I 21removedH5493 them 22whenH3512 I sawH7200 it. 51Furthermore, SamariaH8111 did not commitH2398 halfH2677 of your sinsH2403, for you have multipliedH7235 your abominationsH8441 moreH4480 thanH4480 they. So you have madeH6663 your sistersH269 appearH6663 23innocentH6663 by allH3605 your abominationsH8441 whichH834 you have committedH6213. 52AlsoH1571, bearH5375 your disgraceH3639 in that you have 24madeH6419 judgmentH6419 favorableH6419 for your sistersH269. Because of your sinsH2403 in whichH834 you actedH8581 25moreH4480 abominablyH8581 thanH4480 they, they areH6663 moreH4480 inH6663 theH6663 rightH6663 thanH4480 you. YesH1571, beH954 alsoH1571 ashamedH954 and bearH5375 your disgraceH3639, in that you madeH6663 your sistersH269 appearH6663 innocentH6663.

53“Nevertheless, I will restoreH7725 their fortunesH7622, the fortunesH7622 of SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323, the fortunesH7622 of SamariaH8111 and her daughtersH1323, and 26alongH8432 with them your own fortunesH7622, 54soH4616 thatH4616 you will bearH5375 your disgraceH3639 and feelH3637 27ashamedH3637 for allH3605 that you have doneH6213 when you becomeH5162 28aH5162 consolationH5162 to them. 55Your sistersH269, SodomH5467 with her daughtersH1323 and SamariaH8111 with her daughtersH1323, 29will returnH7725 to their formerH6927 stateH6927, and you with your daughtersH1323 will also returnH7725 to your formerH6927 stateH6927. 56As the name of your sisterH269 SodomH5467 was not heardH8052 from your lipsH6310 in your dayH3117 of prideH1347, 57beforeH2962 your 30wickednessH7463 was uncoveredH1540, 31soH3644 nowH6256 you have become the 32disgraceH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of 33EdomH112 and of allH3605 who are aroundH5439 her, of the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430--those surroundingH5439 you who despiseH7751 you. 58You have 34sufferedH5375 the penalty of your outrageousH2154 sinH2154 and abominationsH8441,” the LordH3068 declaresH5002. 59For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “I will also doH6213 with you as you have doneH6213, you whoH834 have 35despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285.
