Last night was one such night. I almost got to sleep, I went to the loo, I watched some Ashes highlights, and I read this passage - inspired by Dawn having looked at it this week as a possible passage to study with some girls. She decided not to as the rest of the chapter is quite graphic and she wasn't sure if it would be too much for some of the young students to be willing to study publicly!
Anyway, given the preceding verses this conclusion is truly remarkable. I'll leave you to look up the rest. It was a great thing to have in mind to lead to peaceful sleep.
Ezekiel 16:59-63
"For thus says the Lord GOD: I will deal with you as you have done, you who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant, yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant. Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you take your sisters, both your elder and your younger, and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of the covenant with you. I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the LORD, that you may remember and be confounded, and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I atone for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord GOD."
