As I live, says the Lord GOD, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.

Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters in all your abominations which you have done.

That you may bear your own shame, and may be disgraced in all that you have done, in that you are a comfort unto them.

For thus says the Lord GOD; I will even deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

That you may remember, and be ashamed, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I provide toward you an atonement for all that you have done, says the Lord GOD.
