"As I live," declares the Lord GOD, "Sodom, your sister and her daughters have ^(C1)not done as you and your daughters have done!

"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had ^(C1)arrogance, ^(C2)plenty of food, and ^(C3)carefree ease, but she did not ^(F1)help the ^(C4)poor and needy.

"Nevertheless, I will restore their fortunes, the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, the fortunes of Samaria and her daughters, and ^(F1)along with them your own fortunes,

so that you will bear your disgrace and feel ^(C1)ashamed for all that you have done when you become ^(C2)a consolation to them.

"Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, ^(F1)will return to their former state, and you with your daughters will also return to your former state.

"As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,

"Then you will ^(C1)remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.
