* Behold , every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee , saying , As is the mother , so is her daughter . * Thou art thy mothers 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 . * And thine elder sister is Samaria , she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand s @mo #wl #: and thy younger sister , that dwelleth at thy right hand , is Sodom and her daughters . * Yet hast thou not walked after their ways , nor done after their abominations tow #ebah #: but , as if that were a very little #H6962 thing , thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways . * 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 . * Behold , this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom , pride ga #own #, 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 . * And they were haughty , and committed abomination before me : therefore I took them away as I saw good . * Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins chatta #ah #; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they , and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done . * 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 . * When I shall bring again their captivity sh @, the captivity sh @ of Sodom and her daughters , and the captivity sh @ of Samaria and her daughters , then will I bring again the captivity sh @ of thy captives in the midst of them : * 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 . * 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 . * For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride ga #own #, * 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 . * Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations tow #ebah #, saith the LORD . * 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 . * Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth na #uwr #, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant . * 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 . * And I will establish my covenant with thee ; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD : * That thou mayest remember , and be confounded , and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame , when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done , saith the Lord GOD .
