16:53 「我必叫她們被擄的歸回,就是叫所多瑪和她的眾女,撒馬利亞和她的眾女,並你們中間被擄的,都要歸回,
16:54 好使你擔當自己的羞辱,並因你一切所行的使她們得安慰,你就抱愧。
16:55 你的妹妹所多瑪和她的眾女必歸回原位;撒馬利亞和她的眾女,你和你的眾女,也必歸回原位。
16:56 在你驕傲的日子,你的惡行沒有顯露以先,你的口就不提你的妹妹所多瑪。那受了凌辱的亞蘭眾女和亞蘭四圍非利士的眾女都恨惡你,藐視你。
16:57 【併於上節】
16:58 耶和華說:你貪淫和可憎的事,你已經擔當了。」
53 "I will restore their fortunes,
both the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and the fortunes of Samaria and
her daughters, and I will restore your own fortunes in their midst, 54 that you
may bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all that you have done, becoming a
consolation to them. 55 As for your sisters, Sodom and her daughters shall
return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to
their former state, and you and your daughters shall return to your former
state. 56 Was not your sister Sodom a byword in your mouth in the day of your
pride, 57 before your wickedness was uncovered? Now you have become an object
of reproach for the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and for the
daughters of the Philistines, those all around who despise you. 58 You bear the
penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the Lord.

耶路撒冷曾經是上帝保守的城邑,讓附近的城市感到傷心,因為它們被亞述帝國的軍隊所踐踏。如今這城被巴比倫所滅,它們就覺得安慰。而耶路撒冷遭滅就是不專一敬拜上帝,敬拜別神,導致今天的下場。
耶路撒冷的下場更是教會的借鏡,基督徒不單單敬拜上帝,還敬拜許多有形與無形的偶像,也會被上帝厭棄!
但是教會不要忘記,我們是耶穌基督撒了寶血所拯救的!我們更是要透過耶穌基督專一來敬拜天父,才不致讓基督在十字架上白白的釘死!耶穌無法再為我們釘一次十字架,若是讓基督重釘十架,我們就有禍了!
