Ezekiel 16:58

Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations

Ezekiel 16:58 In-Context

56 Remember the days when you were putting on airs, acting so high and mighty, looking down on sister Sodom?
57 That was before your evil ways were exposed. And now you're the butt of contempt, despised by the Edomite women, the Philistine women, and everybody else around.
58 But you have to face it, to accept the shame of your obscene and vile life. Decree of God, the Master.
59 "'God, the Master, says, I'll do to you just as you have already done, you who have treated my oath with contempt and broken the covenant.
60 All the same, I'll remember the covenant I made with you when you were young and I'll make a new covenant with you that will last forever.
