Ezekiel 16:52-61 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

52. Also, you bear your disgrace, by which you furnished justification to your sisters through your sins by which you acted more abominably than they; they were more righteous than you, and also, you be ashamed and bear your disgrace through your making your sister righteous.

53. And I will restore their fortune, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and even the fortunes of your captivity in the midst of them,

54. in order that you may bear your disgrace and you may be put to shame because of all that you did at your consoling them.

55. And as for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your former state.

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

57. before your evil was uncovered? It was like the time of the scorn of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who are despising you.

58. Your wickedness and your detestable things, you, you must bear them,’ declares Yahweh.

59. ‘For thus says the Lord Yahweh: And I will do it to you according to what you have done, who despised the oath to break covenant.

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

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