² Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

⁷ I said after she had done all these things, She will return to me; but she didn't return: and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

⁸ I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, didn't fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.

⁹ It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.

¹⁰ Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense, says Yahweh.

⁴⁴ Behold, everyone who uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

⁴⁵ You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

⁴⁶ Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
