Ezekiel 16:54 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 16:54

That thou mayest bear thine own shame
So long as the captivity remains; even until Sodom and Samaria, the Gentiles, and the ten tribes, are called and converted: and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done;
or, "for all that thou hast done" F5; for and because of all the abominable sins they had been guilty of: in that thou art a comfort to them;
to Sodom and Samaria; countenancing them in their sins; justifying their iniquities, and strengthening their hands in their wickedness, by doing the same, and greater abominations; or in partaking of the same punishment with them, captivity; this being a kind of solace to them, that they were not punished alone; so Jarchi.

Ezekiel 16:54 In-Context

52 Also, you bear your disgrace, [by] which you furnished justification to your sisters through your sins [by] which you acted more abominably than they; they were more righteous than you, and also, you be ashamed and bear your disgrace through your making your sister righteous.
53 And I will restore their fortune, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and [even] the fortunes of your captivity in the midst of them,
54 in order that you may bear your disgrace and you may be put to shame because of all that you did at your consoling them.
55 And [as for] your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters, they will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your former state.
56 And was not Sodom, your sister, a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride
