Ezekiel xvi.

52. ‘Thou also which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable then they; they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.’

53. ‘When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then {will I bring again} the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them.’

54. ‘That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort to them.’

55. ‘When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.’

56. ‘For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride.’

57. ‘Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of {thy} reproach of the daughters of Syria, [and] MS ‘all’. all {that are} round about her, the daughters of the Philistines which despise thee round about.’

59. ‘Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thy abominations saith the Lord.’

60. ‘For thus saith the Lord God, I will even deal with thee as thou hast done which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.’
