Ezekiel 16:43-45
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.
44 Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.
45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite.

Ezekiel 16:43-45
New International Version
43 “‘Because you did not remember(A) the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down(B) on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign Lord. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices?(C)
44 “‘Everyone who quotes proverbs(D) will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.” 45 You are a true daughter of your mother, who despised(E) her husband(F) and her children; and you are a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.(G)
