As for your nativity, (A)on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, when you yourself were [a]loathed on the day you were born.

“And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ (B)I made you [b]thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

“When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; (C)so I spread [c]My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I (D)swore an oath to you and entered into a (E)covenant with you, and (F)you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

  3. Ezekiel 16:8 Or the corner of My garment

On the day you were born(A) your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.

“‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!”[a](B) I made you grow(C) like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.(D)

“‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment(E) over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant(F) with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.(G)
