Ezekiel 16:2-4

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations. ³ Tell them this is what the Lord God says to Jerusalem.

Your origin and your birth were from the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. ⁴ This is the way it was at your birth. On the day you were born, your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not washed with water to clean you up.^[a] You were not rubbed down with salt, nor were you tightly wrapped with cloths.
