²² And in all your abominations and your prostitutions you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, flailing about in your blood.^(A)

² Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord:

God’s Compassion Despite Israel’s Ingratitude

⁴³ Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged me with all these things, therefore I have returned your deeds upon your head, says the Lord God.

Have you not committed lewdness beyond all your abominations?^(A)

⁶⁰ yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you an everlasting covenant.^{(A) 61} Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters and I give them to you as daughters, but not on account of my^[a] covenant with you.^{(B) 62} I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord,^{(C) 63} in order that you may remember and be confounded and never open your mouth again because of your shame, when I forgive you all that you have done, says the Lord God.^(D)

³ and say: Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.^{(A) 4} As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in cloths.^{(B) 5} No eye pitied you to do any of these things for you out of compassion for you, but you were thrown out in the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born.^(C)

⁶ I passed by you and saw you flailing about in your blood. As you lay in your blood, I said to you, “Live!^{(D) 7} and grow up^[a] like a plant of the field.” You grew up and became tall and arrived at full womanhood;^[b] your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown, yet you were naked and bare.^(E)
