42. So I will make My fury toward you to rest, and My jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be angry no more.
43. Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged Me in all these things, I also will recompense your way upon your head, says the Lord God, so that you shall not commit this lewdness above all your other abominations.
44. Everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, “Like mother, like daughter.”
45. You are your mother’s daughter who loathed her husband and her children. And you are the sister of your sisters who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46. Now your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters who dwell north of you. And your younger sister who dwells south of you is Sodom and her daughters.
47. Yet you have not walked after their ways, or done according to their abominations. But, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
48. As I live, says the Lord God, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you and your daughters have done.
49. This was the iniquity of your sister Sodom. Pride, abundance of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51. Moreover, Samaria did not commit half of your sins. But you have multiplied your abominations more than they and have made your sisters appear righteous in all your abominations which you have done.
52. Also bear your own shame in that you have made judgment favorable to your sisters. Because of your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Indeed, be humiliated also and bear your shame in that you have made your sisters appear righteous.
53. Yet I shall restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them your own captivity,
54. in order that you may bear your own shame and may be humiliated in all that you have done in that you are a comfort to them.
55. Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters, shall return to their former state, and you and your daughters shall return to your former state.
56. As the name of your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57. before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who despise you.
58. You have borne the punishment of your lewdness and your abominations, says the Lord.
