Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying ,
2
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3
And say , Thus saith the LordGOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
4
And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut , neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all , nor swaddled at all .
5
None eyepitied thee, to doany of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the openfield, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born .
6
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood,Live ; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood,Live .
7
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great , and thou art come to excellentornaments: thy breasts are fashioned , and thine hair is grown , whereas thou wast naked and bare.
8
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the LordGOD, and thou becamest mine.
9
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
