Ezekiel 16:1-8

1And the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559,

2SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441,

3and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah unto JerusalemH3389: Thy birthH4138 and thy nativity is of the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669: thy fatherH1 was an AmoriteH567, and thy motherH517 a HittiteH2850.

4And as for thy nativity, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navel was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 for cleansing; thou wast not rubbed with salt at all, nor swaddled at all.

5No eyeH5869 pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast castH7993 out in the open fieldH7704, from abhorrence of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.

6And I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee weltering in thy bloodH1818, and I saidH559 unto thee, in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421! yea, I saidH559 unto thee, in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421!

7I caused thee to multiplyH7235, as the bud of the fieldH7704; and thou didst increaseH7235 and growH6779 greatH1431, and thou camest to fulness of beauty; [thy] breastsH7699 were fashioned, and thy hairH8181 grewH1431: but thou wast nakedH5903 and bare.

8And I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, and behold, thy timeH6256 wasH1961 the timeH6256 of love; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172; and I sworeH7650 unto thee, and entered into a covenantH1285 with thee, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.
