Ezekiel 16:56 Context
54That thou mayest beare thine owne shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort vnto them. 55When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters shal returne to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall returne to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall returne to your former estate. 56For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride; 57Before thy wickednesse was discouered, as at the time of thy reproch of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines which despise thee round about. 58Thou hast borne thy lewdnesse, and thine abominations, saith the Lord.
