Ezekiel 16:55-57
1599 Geneva Bible
55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their former state: Samaria also and her daughters shall return to their former state: [a]when thou and thy daughters shall return to your former state.
56 For thy sister Sodom [b]was not heard of [c]by thy report in the day of thy pride,
57 Before thy wickedness was [d]discovered, as in that same time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all the daughters of the Philistines round about [e]her, which despise thee on all sides.
