Ezekiel 16:52-63

English Standard Version

⁵²^(A)Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have intervened on behalf of your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.

⁵³^(B)“I will restore their fortunes, both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in their midst, ⁵⁴that you may bear your disgrace ^(C)and be ashamed of all that you have done, ^(D)becoming a consolation to them. ⁵⁵As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former state, ^(E)and Samaria and her daughters shall return ^(F)to their former state, ^(G)and you and your daughters shall return ^(H)to your former state. ⁵⁶Was not your sister Sodom a byword in your mouth ^(I)in the day of your pride, ⁵⁷before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become ^(J)an object of reproach for the daughters of Syria^[a] and all those around her, and for ^(K)the daughters of the Philistines, ^(L)those all around who despise you. ⁵⁸^(M)You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the Lord.

The Lord's Everlasting Covenant

⁵⁹“For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you as you have done, you ^(N)who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant, ⁶⁰yet ^(O)I will remember my covenant with you ^(P)in the days of your youth, ^(Q)and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. ⁶¹^(R)Then you will remember your ways ^(S)and be ashamed when you take ^(T)your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you ^(U)as daughters, but not on account of^[b] the covenant with you. ⁶²I will establish my covenant with you, ^(V)and you shall know that I am the Lord, ⁶³that you may remember and be confounded, and ^(W)never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord God.”
