Ezekiel 16:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ When you were born, no one cut you loose from your mother or washed your body. No one rubbed your skin with salt and olive oil,^[a] and wrapped you in warm blankets. ⁵ Not one person loved you enough to do any of these things, and no one even felt sorry for you. You were despised, thrown into a field, and forgotten.

⁶ I saw you lying there, rolling around in your own blood, and I couldn't let you die.
