New Testament

Ezekiel 16:52-58 Good News Bible (GNB)

52. And now you will have to endure your disgrace. Your sins are so much worse than those of your sisters that they look innocent beside you. Now blush and bear your shame, because you make your sisters look pure.”

53. The Lord said to Jerusalem, “I will make them prosperous again — Sodom and her villages and Samaria and her villages. Yes, I will make you prosperous too.

54. You will be ashamed of yourself, and your disgrace will show your sisters how well off they are.

55. They will become prosperous again, and you and your villages will also be restored.

56. Didn't you joke about Sodom in those days when you were proud

57. and before the evil you did had been exposed? Now you are just like her — a joke to the Edomites, the Philistines, and your other neighbours who hate you.

58. You must suffer for the obscene, disgusting things you have done.” The Lord has spoken.
