16 ⁴⁴ Behold, every one who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you, 'Like mother, like daughter.' 16 ⁴⁵ You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. 16 ⁴⁶ And your elder sister is Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters. 16 ⁴⁷ Yet you were not content to walk in their ways, or do according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. 16 ⁴⁸ As I live, says Yahweh GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 16 ⁴⁹ Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, surfeit of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. 16 ⁵⁰ They were haughty, and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them, when I saw it. 16 ⁵¹ Samaria has not committed half your sins; you have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations which you have committed. 16 ⁵² Bear your disgrace, you also, for you have made judgment favourable to your sisters; because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. So be ashamed, you also, and bear your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.
