Ezekiel 16:1-7
The Lord’s Faithless Bride
1Again the word of the Lord came to me: 2 a“Son of man, bmake known to Jerusalem her abominations, 3and say, Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites; your father was an cAmorite and your mother a dHittite. 4And as for your birth, eon the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. 5No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, fbut you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, gon the day that you were born.6“And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing hin your blood, I said to you iin your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you jin your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 kI made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall land arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet myou were naked and bare.
