44 “Behold, everyone who quotes (A)proverbs will quote this proverb about you, saying, ‘Like [a]mother, like daughter.’ 45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and children. You are also the (B)sister of your sisters, who (C)loathed their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite. 46 Now your (D)older sister is Samaria, who lives [b]north of you with her [c]daughters; and your younger sister, who lives [d]south of you, is (E)Sodom with her [e]daughters.
