Ezekiel 16:44-46

Good News Translation

Like Mother, Like Daughter

⁴⁴ The Lord said, “People will use this proverb about you, Jerusalem: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’ ⁴⁵ You really are your mother's daughter. She detested her husband and her children. You are like your sisters, who hated their husbands and their children. You and your sister cities had a Hittite mother and an Amorite^[a] father.

⁴⁶ “Your older sister, with her villages, is Samaria, in the north. Your younger sister, with her villages, is Sodom, in the south.
