hire any more.
42
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from
thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43
Because thou hast not remembered the days
of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these
things;
behold, therefore I also will recompense thy
way upon
thine
head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine
abominations.
44
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use
this
proverb against thee, saying, As is the
mother,
so is
her daughter.
45
Thou
art
thy mother’s daughter, that lotheth her husband and her
children; and thou
art
the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your
mother
was
an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46
And thine elder sister
is
Samaria, she and her
daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand,
is
Sodom and her daughters.
47
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their
abominations: but, as
if that were
a very little
thing,
thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy
ways.
48
As
I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as
thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
49
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50
And they were haughty, and committed abomination
before me: therefore I took them away as I saw
good.
51
Neither hath Samaria committed half of
thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters
in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
52
Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear
thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than 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 unto 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 all
that are
round about her, the daughters
of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
58
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine
abominations, saith the L
ORD
.
59
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.
60
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will
establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed,
when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for
daughters, but not by thy covenant.
62
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt
know that I
am

ORD
:

That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy
