Ezekiel 16:4-8

LEB(i) 4 And as for your birth, on the day you were born* your umbilical cord was not cut, and you were not thoroughly washed clean with water,* and you were not thoroughly rubbed with salt,* and you were not carefully wrapped in strips of cloth.* 5 No eye took pity on you* to do to you one of these things to show compassion for you, and you were thrown into the open field* in their despising of you on the day you were born.* 6 " 'And I passed by you, and I saw you kicking about in your blood, and I said to you in your blood, "Live! 7 Grow up;* I will make you like a plant of the field." And you grew up, and you became tall and reached full womanhood.* Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown, but you were naked and bare. 8 " 'And I passed by you, and I saw you, and look, your time of lovemaking had come,* and so I spread out my hem over you, and I covered your nakedness, and I swore to you, and I entered into* a covenant with you,' declares* the Lord Yahweh, 'and you became mine.*
