52. So you will be dishonored. You have given your sisters an excuse for what they did. Your sins were far worse than theirs. In fact, your sisters appear to be more godly than you. So then, be ashamed. You will be dishonored. You have made them appear to be godly.
53. "I will not only give you back what you had before. I will also do the same thing for Sodom and her daughters. And I will do the same for Samaria and her daughters.
54. That will make you feel dishonored. You will be ashamed of everything you have done. You have made them feel better because you sinned more and were punished more than they were.
55. Your sisters Sodom and Samaria and their daughters will return to what they were before. And you and your daughters will return to what you were before.
56. "In the past you would not even mention your sister Sodom. You were proud at that time.
57. That was before your sin was uncovered. Now the daughters of Edom make fun of you. So do all of her neighbors and the daughters of the Philistines. Everyone who lives around you looks down on you.
58. You will be punished for your impure conduct. I will also punish you for the other evil things you have done. I hate all of those things," announces the Lord.
59. The Lord and King says, "I will punish you in keeping with what you have done. I sealed with an oath the covenant I made with you. You hated that oath. And you broke my covenant.
60. "But I will remember my covenant with you. I made it with you when you were young. Now I will make a new covenant with you. It will last forever.
61. Then you will remember how you have lived. You will be ashamed when I give you Samaria and Sodom. Samaria is your older sister. Sodom is your younger one. I will give them and their daughters to you as daughters. That can't happen based on my old covenant with you.
62. So I will make my new covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
