ezekiel 16:44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

ezekiel 16:44 "Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote [this] proverb concerning you, saying, 'Like mother, like daughter.'

44. As . . . mother . . . her daughter--"Is," and "so is," are not in the original; the ellipsis gives the proverb (but two words in the Hebrew) epigrammatic brevity. Jerusalem proved herself a true daughter of the Hittite mother in sin (Eze 16:3).

ezekiel 16:44 "Behold, everyone who quotes proverbs will quote [this] proverb concerning you, saying, 'Like mother, like daughter.'
