Ezekiel 16:60

Covenant and promises God's faithfulness New life and rebirth

⁵⁸ You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.

⁵⁹ For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

⁶¹ Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.

⁶² So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
