Ezekiel 16:41-47 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

41. They will burn your houses with fire. They will punish you in front of many women. Then I will put an end to your sexual sins. And you will no longer pay your lovers.

42. Then I will rest from my anger against you. I will stop being jealous. I will be quiet and not angry anymore.

43. “‘You didn’t remember when you were young. So you have made me angry in all these ways. And I will repay you for what you have done, says the Lord God. Didn’t you add sexual sins to all your other acts which I hate?

44. “‘Everyone who uses wise sayings will say this about you: “The daughter is like her mother.”

45. You are like your mother. She hated her husband and children. You are also like your sisters. They hated their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite. And your father was an Amorite.

46. Now your older sister is Samaria. She lived north of you with her daughters. And your younger sister Sodom lived south of you with her daughters.

47. You followed their ways. And you did what they did. But you were even worse than they were in everything you did.
