Ezekiel 16:57

Ezekiel 16:57

55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.

56 For your sister Sodom was not a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride,

57 before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the ^areproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of ^bthe daughters of the Philistines, who despise you everywhere.

58 ^aYou have paid for your lewdness and your abominations,” says the Lord.

59 For thus says the Lord God: “I will deal with you as you have done, who ^adespised ^bthe oath by breaking the covenant.
