Context of Ezekiel 16:55
53“I will return their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them, your own captivity. 54So you will bear your own disgrace and be ashamed of all that you have done in becoming a consolation to them. Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Samaria and her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will return to your former state. 56“Was not your sister Sodom an object of scorn to you in the day of your pride, 57before your own wickedness was exposed? Now you have become an object of scorn for the daughters of Aram and all that surround her, for the daughters of the Philistines, for all around who despise you.
