Ezekiel 16:44
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
In context
42 So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.
43 Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?
44 Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
45 You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46 Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.
