2 ^h“Son of man, there were ⁱtwo women, the daughters of one mother.

7 And I thought, ‘After she has done all this she will return to me,’ but she did not return, and her treacherous ^rsister Judah saw it. 8 She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, ^sI had sent her away with ^ta decree of divorce. ^uYet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went ⁱand played the whore. 9 Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with ^vstone and tree. 10 Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me ^wwith her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”

44 “Behold, everyone ^uwho uses proverbs will use this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’ 45 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathed her husband and her children; and you are the sister of ^vyour sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. ^wYour mother was a Hittite and ^wyour father an Amorite. 46 And ^xyour elder sister is Samaria, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; and ^yyour younger sister, who lived to the south of you, is Sodom with her daughters.
