Ezekiel 16:52-61 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

52. Thou also--bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying thy sisters.

53. And I have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their midst,

54. So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of all that thou hast done, In thy comforting them.

55. And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back to your former state.

56. And thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy,

57. Before thy wickedness is revealed, As [at] the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round about.

58. Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them, an affirmation of Jehovah.

59. For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath--to break covenant.

60. And I--I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant age-during.

61. And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters--Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not by thy covenant.
