Ezekiel 16:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord God says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hethite.^{(A) 4} As for your birth, your umbilical cord wasn’t cut on the day you were born,^(B) and you weren’t washed clean^[a] with water. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.^{(C) 5} No one cared enough about you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. But you were thrown out into the open field because you were despised on the day you were born.
