Yechezkel 16:56-63 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

56. For thy achot (sister) Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy ga'on (pride),

57. Before thy ra'ah (wickedness) was uncovered, as at the time of the cherpah (disgrace) of the banot Aram (Syria), and all that are around her, the banot of the Pelishtim (Philistines), which despise thee all around.

58. Thou hast borne [the penalty of] thy zimmah (lewdness) and thine to'avot, saith Hashem.

59. For thus saith Adonoi Hashem: I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the brit (covenant).

60. Nevertheless I will remember My Brit (covenant) with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee a Brit Olam.

61. Then thou shalt remember thy drakhim, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy akhayot (sisters), thine elder and thy younger; and I will give them unto thee for banot, but not because of thy brit (convenant) [i.e., Sodom and Shomron had no covenant with Hashem].

62. And I will establish My Brit (covenant) with thee; and thou shalt know that I am Hashem;

63. That thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I have made kapporah (atonement, i.e., when I am pacified, appeased) toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith Adonoi Hashem.
