Ezekiel 16:44
Compare all
42 So aI will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more.  
43 Because ayou did not remember the days of your youth, but1 agitated Me with all these things, surely bI will also recompense your deeds on your own head,” says the Lord God. “And you shall not commit lewdness in addition to all your abominations.  

More Wicked than Samaria and Sodom

44 “Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you: ‘Like mother, like daughter!’
45 You are your mother’s daughter,1 loathing husband and children; and you are the asister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children; byour mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.  
46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and ayour younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.  
47 You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, ayou became more corrupt than they in all your ways.  
48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither ayour sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.  
49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, afullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
