Ezequiel 16:59 In-Context

57 antes da sua impiedade ser trazida a público. Mas agora você é alvo da zombaria das filhas de Edom e de todos os vizinhos dela, e das filhas dos filisteus, de todos os que vivem ao seu redor e que a desprezam.

58 Você sofrerá as consequências da sua lascívia e das suas práticas repugnantes. Palavra do SENHOR.

59 “Assim diz o Soberano, o SENHOR: Eu a tratarei como merece, porque você desprezou o meu juramento ao romper a aliança.

60 Contudo, eu me lembrarei da aliança que fiz com você nos dias da sua infância e com você estabelecerei uma aliança eterna.

61 Então você se lembrará dos seus caminhos e se envergonhará quando receber suas irmãs, a mais velha e a mais nova. Eu as darei a você como filhas, não porém com base em minha aliança com você.
