Ezekiel 16:44-46

Contemporary English Version

Jerusalem's Two Sisters

The Lord said:

⁴⁴ People will use this saying about you, Jerusalem: “If the mother is bad, so is her daughter.” ⁴⁵ You are just like your mother, who hated her husband and her own children. You are also like your sisters, who hated their husbands and children. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.^{[a] 46} Your older sister was Samaria, that city to your north with her nearby villages. Your younger sister was Sodom, that city to your south with her nearby villages.
