Ezekiel 16:56-63

56 In your proud days you held Sodom in contempt.
57 But now your greater wickedness has been exposed to all the world, and you are the one who is scorned—by Edom and all her neighbors and by Philistia.
58 This is your punishment for all your lewdness and detestable sins, says the LORD .
59 “Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will give you what you deserve, for you have taken your solemn vows lightly by breaking your covenant.
60 Yet I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61 Then you will remember with shame all the evil you have done. I will make your sisters, Samaria and Sodom, to be your daughters, even though they are not part of our covenant.
62 And I will reaffirm my covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD .
63 You will remember your sins and cover your mouth in silent shame when I forgive you of all that you have done. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”
