Ezekiel 16:3-5

Good News Translation

³ Tell Jerusalem what the Sovereign Lord is saying to her:

“You were born in the land of Canaan. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.^{[a] 4} When you were born, no one cut your umbilical cord or washed you^[b] or rubbed you with salt or wrapped you in cloths. ⁵ No one took enough pity on you to do any of these things for you. When you were born, no one loved you. You were thrown out in an open field.
