Ezekiel 16:44-59

44BeholdH2009, everyH3605 one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb againstH5921 thee, sayingH559, As is the motherH517, soH5921 is herH3605 daughterH1323.

45Thou art thy mother’sH517 daughterH1323, that loatheth herH1602 husbandH376 and herH1602 childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, whichH834 loathedH1602 their husbandsH376 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.

46And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, that dwelleth at thy leftH8040 handH3225, sheH1931 and herH5921 daughtersH1323: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwelleth at thy rightH3225 handH3225, is SodomH5467 and herH5921 daughtersH1323.

47Yet hast thou notH3808 walkedH1980 in their waysH1870, norH3808 doneH6213 afterH1980 their abominationsH8441; but, as if that were a veryH1980 littleH4592 thingH8441, thou wast moreH3808 corruptH7843 thanH3808 they in allH3605 thy waysH1870.

48As I liveH2416, saith the LordH136 GODH136, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath notH518 doneH6213, sheH1931 norH518 herH518 daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.

49BeholdH2009, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467; prideH1347, fulness of breadH3899, and prosperous easeH7962 was in herH1961 and in herH1961 daughtersH1323; neitherH3808 didH3808 sheH3808 strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.

50And they were haughty, and committedH6213 abominationH8441 beforeH6440 meH6440: therefore I tookH5493 them awayH5493 as I sawH7200 good.

51NeitherH3808 hath SamariaH8111 committedH2398 halfH2677 of thy sinsH2398; but thou hast multipliedH7235 thine abominationsH8441 moreH3808 thanH3808 they, and hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269 by allH3605 thine abominationsH8441 whichH834 thou hast doneH6213.

52Thou also, bearH5375 thine own shameH954, in that thou hast given judgmentH834 for thy sistersH269; throughH4480 thy sinsH2403 that thou hast committedH8581 moreH4480 abominableH8581 thanH4480 they, they are moreH4480 righteousH6663 thanH4480 thou: yea, be thou also confoundedH954, and bearH5375 thy shameH954, in that thou hast justifiedH6663 thy sistersH269.

53And I will turnH7725 againH7725 their captivityH7622, the captivityH7622 of SodomH5467 and herH7725 daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622 of SamariaH8111 and herH7725 daughtersH1323, and the captivityH7622 of thy captivesH7628 in the midstH8432 of them:

54that thou mayest bearH5375 thine own shameH3639, and mayest be ashamedH3637 becauseH834 of allH3605 that thou hast doneH6213, in that thou art a comfortH5162 unto them.

55And thy sistersH269, SodomH5467 and herH7725 daughtersH1323, shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate, and SamariaH8111 and herH7725 daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to their formerH6927 estate, and thou and thy daughtersH1323 shall returnH7725 to your formerH6927 estate.

56For thy sisterH269 SodomH5467 was notH3808 mentioned by thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of thy prideH1347;

57beforeH2962 thy wickednessH7451 was discovered, as at the time of the reproachH2781 of the daughtersH1323 of SyriaH758, and of allH3605 that are roundH5439 aboutH5439 herH3605, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which doH3605 despite unto thee roundH5439 aboutH5439.

58Thou hast borneH5375 thy lewdnessH2154 and thine abominationsH8441, saith the LORDH3068.

59For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 GODH136: I will evenH3588 dealH6213 with thee as thou hast doneH6213, whichH834 hast despisedH959 the oathH423 in breaking the covenantH1285.
