Ezekiel 16:1 In-Context

1 Then another message came to me from the LORD :

2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her detestable sins.

3 Give her this message from the Sovereign LORD : You are nothing but a Canaanite! Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

5 No one had the slightest interest in you; no one pitied you or cared for you. On the day you were born, you were unwanted, dumped in a field and left to die.
