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.

53 "I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and those of Samaria and her daughters. I will also restore your fortunes among them,
54 so you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did when you comforted them.
55 As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.
56 Didn't you treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn when you were proud,
