New Testament

Ezekiel 16:53-63 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

53. “I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and those of Samaria and her daughters. I will also restore your fortunes among them,

54. so you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did when you comforted them.

55. As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.

56. Didn’t you treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn when you were proud,

57. before your wickedness was exposed? It was like the time you were scorned by the daughters of Aram and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines — those who treated you with contempt from every side.

58. You yourself must bear the consequences of your indecency and detestable practices” — this is the Lord’s declaration.

59. “For this is what the Lord God says: I will deal with you according to what you have done, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60. But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

61. Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

62. I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am Yahweh,

63. so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth again because of your disgrace.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.
