Ezekiel 16:42-47 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

42. And my indignation will be quieted in you. And my zeal will be taken from you. And I will rest, and no longer be angry.

43. For you have not remembered the days of your youth, and you have provoked me in all these things. Because of this, I also have delivered all your ways upon your head, says the Lord God, but I have not acted in accord with your wickedness in all your abominations.

44. Behold, all who speak a common proverb will take this up against you, saying: 'Like the mother, so also is her daughter.'

45. You are your mother's daughter, for she cast away her husband and her children. And you are the sister of your sisters, for they cast away their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Cethite, and your father was an Amorite.

46. And your older sister is Samaria, she and her daughters are those who live to your left. But your younger sister, who lives to your right, is Sodom and her daughters.

47. But neither have you walked in their ways. For you have done only a little less compared to their wickedness. You have acted almost more wickedly, in all your ways, than they have acted.
