51. Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more abominable things than they did. You even made your sisters look righteous, with all the abominations you have done.
52. You, then, must bear your disgrace, for you have made a case for your sisters! Because your sins are more abominable than theirs, they seem righteous compared to you. Blush for shame, and bear the disgrace of having made your sisters appear righteous.
53. I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters—and your fortunes along with them.
54. Thus you must bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you have done to bring them comfort.
55. Yes, your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Samaria and her daughters, shall return to the way they were, and you and your daughters shall return to the way you were.
56. Did you not hold your sister Sodom in bad repute while you felt proud of yourself,
57. before your evil was exposed? Now you are like her, reproached by the Arameans and all their neighbors, despised on all sides by the Philistines.
58. The penalty of your depravity and your abominations—you must bear it all—oracle of the Lord.
59. For thus says the Lord God: I will deal with you for what you did; you despised an oath by breaking a covenant.
60. But I will remember the covenant I made with you when you were young; I will set up an everlasting covenant with you.
61. Then you shall remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, those older and younger than you; I give them to you as daughters, but not by reason of your covenant.
62. For I will re-establish my covenant with you, that you may know that I am the Lord,
63. that you may remember and be ashamed, and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, when I pardon you for all you have done—oracle of the Lord God.
