Ezekiel 16:35–59

35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord: 36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy qfilthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by rthe blood of thy children, rwhich thou didst give unto them; 37 Behold, therefore sI will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, twith all them that thou hast hated; sI will even gather them round about against thee, and ttwill discover thy nakedness unto them, that uthey may see all thy nakedness. 38 And uuI will judge thee, as vwwomen that break wedlock and rvxshed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. 39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down ythine eminent place, and shall break down ythy high places: uzathey shall strip thee also of thy clothes, zand bshall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee cnaked and bare. 40 dThey shall also bring up a company against thee, and ethey shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 41 And fthey shall burn thine houses with fire, and gexecute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and hI will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and ithou also shalt give no hire any more. 42 So kwill I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry. 43 Because thou hast not remembered lthe days of thy youth, but mhast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore nI also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord God: and thou shalt not nncommit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this oproverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter. 45 Thou art thy mother’s daughter, that plotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of qthy sisters, which plothed their husbands and their children: ryour mother was an Hittite, and ryour father an Amorite. 46 And thine elder sister is sSamaria, she and her daughters that dwell tuat thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth tvat thy right hand, is wSodom and her daughters. 47 xYet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, ||as if that were a very little thing, zthou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. 48 aAs I live, saith the Lord God, bSodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters. 49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, cpride, dfulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And cthey were haughty, and ecommitted abomination before me: therefore fI took them away gas I saw good. 51 Neither hath hSamaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and ihast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done. 52 jThou also, which hast kjudged thy sisters, lbear thine own shame for thy sins hthat thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, iin that thou hast justified thy sisters.

53 When mI shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them: 54 That thou mayest lbear thine own shame, and nmayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that nnthou art a comfort unto them. 55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to nnntheir former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate. 56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, 57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, pas at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, qthe daughters of the Philistines, which ||despise thee round about. 58 rThou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the Lord. 59 For thus saith the Lord God; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast sdespised tthe oath sin breaking tthe covenant.
