Supporte ton humiliation, toi qui es intervenue en faveur de tes sœurs par tes péchés, qui t’es montrée plus abominable qu'elles et qui les fais paraître plus justes que toi! Sois dans la honte et supporte ton humiliation, puisque tu as fait paraître tes sœurs justes!

Imagine you're judging your friends for being messy, but your room is even messier. God is saying, 'You can't judge others when you're doing worse yourself. You need to admit your own mess and feel ashamed.'
Contexte historique
Ezekiel, a prophet in the Old Testament, wrote this around 600 BC to the Israelites in exile. God was using this message to show that the city of Jerusalem was worse in its sins than the cities of Samaria and Sodom, which they had judged.
Application pour aujourd'hui
In modern times, this verse can apply to someone who criticizes others for behaviors they themselves are guilty of. For example, if someone is quick to judge others for gossiping when they themselves do it more frequently, they should own up to their own faults.
