Ezekiel Chapter 16 verse 52 Holy Bible
Thou also, bear thou thine own shame, in that thou hast given judgment for thy sisters; through thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that thou: yea, be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

Thou also, who hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own confusion, because of thy sins in which thou hast acted more abominably than they: they are more righteous than thou. So be thou ashamed also, and bear thy confusion, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(52) Hast judged thy sisters.--Judah had approved the judgments upon Sodom and Samaria, as it is always easy for man to approve judgments upon the sins of others; but now this must be brought home to herself for her own greater sins. (Comp. Romans 2)Having described the sin and the punishment, the prophet now goes on in the remainder of the chapter to speak of the restoration of Israel. This is first declared in the strongest terms to be impossible (Ezekiel 16:53-59), and the efforts of many commentators to transform the language into a covert promise of restoration are entirely unsuccessful. After this, indeed, in Ezekiel 16:60-63, the establishment of the Divine covenant with Israel is fully and distinctly promised. Yet there is no contradiction between the two, for the prophet had a right to suppose that the people would remember what had been so plainly declared before: that while the nation as a whole must perish, yet after the purifying chastisements of the Lord He would have mercy upon and bless a remnant who should be saved. The general doom is first announced as irrevocable; then the exception is made for the few.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo nowגַּם־ (gam-)ConjunctionStrong's 1571: Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, andyouאַ֣תְּ ׀ (’at)Pronoun - second person feminine singularStrong's 859: Thou and thee, ye and youmust bearשְׂאִ֣י (śə·’î)Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singularStrong's 5375: To lift, carry, takeyour disgrace,כְלִמָּתֵ֗ךְ (ḵə·lim·mā·ṯêḵ)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 3639: Insult, reproach, ignominysinceאֲשֶׁ֤ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatyou have brought justificationפִּלַּלְתְּ֙ (pil·lalt)Verb - Piel - Perfect - second person feminine singularStrong's 6419: To judge, to intercede, prayfor your sisters.לַֽאֲחוֹתֵ֔ךְ (la·’ă·ḥō·w·ṯêḵ)Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 269: Sister -- a sisterFor they appear more righteousתִּצְדַּ֣קְנָה (tiṣ·daq·nāh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine pluralStrong's 6663: To be just or righteousthan you,מִמֵּ֑ךְ (mim·mêḵ)Preposition | second person feminine singularStrong's 4480: A part of, from, out ofbecause your sinsבְּחַטֹּאתַ֛יִךְ (bə·ḥaṭ·ṭō·ṯa·yiḵ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine plural construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 2403: An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offenderwere more vileהִתְעַ֥בְתְּ (hiṯ·‘aḇt)Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person feminine singularStrong's 8581: To loathe, detestthan theirs.מֵהֵ֖ן (mê·hên)Preposition-m | Pronoun - third person feminine pluralStrong's 2004: TheySo youאַ֥תְּ (’at)Pronoun - second person feminine singularStrong's 859: Thou and thee, ye and youtooוְגַם־ (wə·ḡam-)Conjunctive waw | ConjunctionStrong's 1571: Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, andmust bearוּשְׂאִ֣י (ū·śə·’î)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singularStrong's 5375: To lift, carry, takeyour shameבּ֙וֹשִׁי֙ (bō·wō·šî)Verb - Qal - Imperative - feminine singularStrong's 954: To pale, to be ashamed, to be disappointed, delayedand disgrace,כְלִמָּתֵ֔ךְ (ḵə·lim·mā·ṯêḵ)Noun - feminine singular construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 3639: Insult, reproach, ignominysince you have made your sistersאַחְיוֹתֵֽךְ׃ (’aḥ·yō·w·ṯêḵ)Noun - feminine plural construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 269: Sister -- a sisterappear righteous.בְּצַדֶּקְתֵּ֖ךְ (bə·ṣad·deq·têḵ)Preposition-b | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 6663: To be just or righteousJump to PreviousAbominable Abominably Acted Ashamed Bear Committed Confounded Disgrace Favorable Furnished Judged Judgment Justification Justified Right Righteous Shame Sins Sisters Vile
