Ezekiel 16:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.

⁴⁴ Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.

⁴⁵ Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.
