Ezekiel 16:1 In-Context

1 The LORD's word came to me:
2 Human one, show Jerusalem her detestable practices.
3 Say, The LORD God proclaims to Jerusalem: By origin and birth you are from the land of Canaan. Your father was an Amorite, your mother a Hittite.
4 This is how you were treated on the day you were born: Your umbilical cord wasn't cut, you weren't washed clean with water or rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in blankets.
5 No one took pity or cared enough to do any of these things for you. You were despised on the day of your birth and thrown out on the open field.
