New King James Version
Ezekiel 16:53-63
53“When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back the captives of your captivity among them,
54that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when you comforted them.
55When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.
56For your sister Sodom was not a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride,
57before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you everywhere.
58You have paid for your lewdness and your abominations,” says the Lord.
59For thus says the Lord God: “I will deal with you as you have done, who despised 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 everlasting covenant with you.
61Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; for I will give them to you for daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
62And I will establish My covenant with you. Then you shall know that I am the Lord,
63that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,” says the Lord God.’ ”
