New Testament

Ezekiel 16:54-63 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

54. But you will have to suffer disgrace. You will feel ashamed for all the things you have done. You even gave comfort to your sisters in their sins.

55. Your sisters are Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters. They will return to what they were before. You and your daughters will also return to what you were before.

56. You would not even mention your sister Samaria when you were proud.

57. Nor would you mention her before your evil was uncovered. And now the Edomite women and their neighbors say bad things about you. Even the Philistine women say bad things about you. Those around you hate you.

58. You will be punished for your sexual sins and actions that I hate, says the Lord.

59. “‘This is what the Lord God says: I will give you what you should have. You hated and broke the marriage agreement.

60. But I will remember my agreement I made with you when you were young. I will make an agreement that will continue forever with you.

61. Then you will remember what you have done. You will be ashamed when you receive your sisters—both your older and your younger sisters. I will give them to you like daughters. But it will not be because of my agreement with you.

62. I will set up my agreement with you. And you will know that I am the Lord.

63. You will remember and be ashamed. You will not open your mouth again because of your shame. This is because I will forgive you for all the things you have done, says the Lord God.’”
