Ezekiel 16:43-49 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.

48. As surely as I live, says the Lord God, this is true. Your sister Sodom and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.

49. “‘This was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were proud. They had plenty of food. They lived in great comfort. But she did not help the poor and needy.
