Ezekiel 16:1-8

1Again the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441, 3And sayH559, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069 unto JerusalemH3389; Thy birthH4351 and thy nativityH4138 is of the landH776 of CanaanH3669; thy fatherH1 was an AmoriteH567, and thy motherH517 an HittiteH2850.1 4And as for thy nativityH4138, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to suppleH4935 thee; thou wast not saltedH4414 at allH4414, nor swaddledH2853 at allH2853.2 5None eyeH5869 pitiedH2347 thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of these unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast cast outH7993 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, to the lothingH1604 of thy personH5315, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.

6And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee pollutedH947 in thine own bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee when thou wast in thy bloodH1818, LiveH2421.3 7I have causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7233 as the budH6780 of the fieldH7704, and thou hast increasedH7235 and waxen greatH1431, and thou art comeH935 to excellentH5716 ornamentsH5716: thy breastsH7699 are fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 is grownH6779, whereas thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181.45 8Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I swareH7650 unto thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, and thou becamest mine.
