New Testament

Ezekiel 16:50-54 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

50. Instead, they became arrogant and committed abominations before me; then, as you have seen, I removed them.

51. Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more abominable things than they did. You even made your sisters look righteous, with all the abominations you have done.

52. You, then, must bear your disgrace, for you have made a case for your sisters! Because your sins are more abominable than theirs, they seem righteous compared to you. Blush for shame, and bear the disgrace of having made your sisters appear righteous.

53. I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters—and your fortunes along with them.

54. Thus you must bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done to bring them comfort.
