Old Testament

New Testament

Ezekiel 16:55-63 English Standard Version (ESV)

55. As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former state, and you and your daughters shall return to your former state.

56. Was not your sister Sodom a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride,

57. before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become an object of reproach for the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and for the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who despise you.

58. You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the Lord.

59. “For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant,

60. yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.

61. Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you.

62. I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord,

63. that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”
