Ezekiel 16:55–63
55Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate.↗
56For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,↗
57before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around.↗
58You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says the LORD.↗
59“‘For the Lord GOD says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.↗
60Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.↗
61Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.↗
62I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the LORD;↗
63that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’”↗
