New Testament

Ezekiel 16:51-63 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

51. Moreover, Samaria did not commit even half of your sins. You multiplied your abominations beyond theirs. So you made your sisters seem righteous by all your disgusting things you have done.

52. You also bear your own shame, since you have interceded for your sisters. Because of your sins that you committed, more treacherous than theirs, they appear more righteous than you. So you also, be ashamed! Bear your disgrace, since you have justified your sisters.

53. “I will return their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them, your own captivity.

54. So you will bear your own disgrace and be ashamed of all that you have done in becoming a consolation to them.

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

56. “Was not your sister Sodom an object of scorn to you in the day of your pride,

57. before your own wickedness was exposed? Now you have become an object of scorn for the daughters of Aram and all that surround her, for the daughters of the Philistines, for all around who despise you.

58. You will bear your wickedness and your abominations.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

59. For thus says Adonai Elohim: “I will do to you just as you have done, since you despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60. Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth. Moreover, 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 for daughters, yet not because of your covenant.

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

63. So you will remember, be ashamed and never open your mouth again because of your disgrace, when I have forgiven you of all that you have done.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
