Ezechiel 16:50-63 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

50. And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.

51. And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done.

52. Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sine, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.

53. And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them.

54. That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them.

55. And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.

56. And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride,

57. Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides.

58. Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God.

59. For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant:

60. And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant.

61. And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

62. And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord,

63. That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.
