Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,

Ezekiel 16:56 · BSB

Ezekiel 16:56 in context

The verses around it, from Ezekiel 16.

52 So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.

54 So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.

55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.

56 Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,

57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.

58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.

59 For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60 But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
