Ezekiel 16:43-49 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

43. Because you did not remember the days of your youth but enraged Me with all these things, I will also bring your actions down on your own head.” This is the declaration of the Lord God. “Haven’t you committed immoral acts in addition to all your detestable practices?

44. “Look, everyone who uses proverbs will say this proverb about you:Like mother, like daughter.

45. You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46. Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you, and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to the south of you.

47. Didn’t you walk in their ways and do their detestable practices? It was only a short time before you behaved more corruptly than they did.

48. “As I live” — the declaration of the Lord God — “your sister Sodom and her daughters have not behaved as you and your daughters have.

49. Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, plenty of food, and comfortable security, but didn’t support the poor and needy.
