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 Thou also, who 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; be thou confounded also and bear thy shame in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

53 When I shall turn their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then I will release the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

54 that thou may bear thine own shame and may 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 first state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their first state, thou and thy daughters shall return to your first state.

56 Sodom, thy sister was not mentioned by thy mouth in the time of thy pride,
