Ezekiel 16:58 In-Context

56 And was not Sodom, your sister, a byword in your mouth in the day of your pride

57 {before} your evil was uncovered? [It was] like the time of the scorn of the daughters of Aram and all [those] around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, those all around who [are] despising you.

58 Your wickedness and your detestable things, you, you must bear them,' {declares} Yahweh.

59 'For thus says the Lord Yahweh: And I will do it to you {according to what you have done}, who despised [the] oath to break covenant.

60 And I, I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you {an everlasting covenant}.
