Satu noſsi tudi tvojo ſramoto, kir tvojo Seſtro brumno delaſh ſkusi tvoje Grehe, v'katerih ſi vekſhe gnuſnobe ſturila kakòr ona, inu ſi njo brumniſho ſturila, kakòr ſi ti. Satu ſe tudi ti sdaj ſramuj, inu noſsi tvojo ſramoto, de ſi tvojo Séſtro brumno ſturila.
What Does This Mean?
This verse is from God through the prophet Ezekiel. It addresses a city, representing people who have judged others harshly. God says they are actually worse in their sins and must accept their shame for being hypocritical.
Explained for Children
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.'
Historical Background
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.
Living It Out Today
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.
