Ezekiel 16:44-52

⁴⁴ Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning thee, saying: As the mother—her daughter! ⁴⁵ Thy mother's daughter thou 'art', Loathing her husband and her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou 'art', Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother 'is' a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ And thine elder sister 'is' Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger sister, who is dwelling on thy right hand, 'is' Sodom and her daughters. ⁴⁷ And—in their ways thou hast not walked, And according to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been loathed, And thou dost more corruptly than they in all thy ways. ⁴⁸ I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done—she and her daughters—As thou hast done—thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹ Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened. ⁵⁰ And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen. ⁵¹ As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins—she hath not sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that thou hast done. 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.
