“Nevertheless, I will restore them [again] from their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters (outlying cities), the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them [I will restore you from] your own captivity [in the day of the Lord GOD], [Is 1:9] so that you [Judah] will bear your humiliation and disgrace, and be [thoroughly] ashamed for all [the wickedness] that you have done to console and comfort them. Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state; and you and your daughters will return to your former state. For [the name of] your sister Sodom was not mentioned by you [except as a byword] in the day of your pride [when David ruled], before your [own] wickedness was uncovered. Now you have become an object of reproach and a byword for the daughters of Aram and of Edom and all who are around her, and for the daughters of the Philistines—those surrounding you who despise you. You have borne [the penalty of] your lewdness and your repulsive acts,” says the LORD. Yes, thus says the Lord GOD, “I will also deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant. “Nevertheless, I will remember [with compassion] My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. [Ps 106:45] Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant [with Me]. [John 10:16] And I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD, [Hos 2:19, 20] so that you may remember [in detail] and be ashamed and never open your mouth again because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.
