The LORD’s word on the proverb of the mother and the daughter, and the elder sister Samaria and the younger sister Sodom
어미와 딸의 속담과 형 사마리아와 아우 소돔에 대한 여호와의 말씀
Ezekiel 16:44–52: the Lord GOD says, “Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’ 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. 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 with her daughters. Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters. Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it. Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done. You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.” WEB does not close these words at the end of 16:52. These verses call the elder sister Samaria and the younger sister Sodom, and do not name the “you”; 16:48 gives the words as the Lord GOD’s. The Korean Revised Version reads 형의 동생, the younger sister of an elder sister, where WEB reads “the sister of your sisters” (16:45), 그것을 적게 여겨서, thinking it a small thing, where WEB reads “but soon” (16:47), and 네 형과 아우, the elder sister and the younger, where WEB reads “your sisters” (16:51–52).
