No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, (B)but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, (C)on the day that you were born.

“And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing (D)in your blood, I said to you (E)in your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you (F)in your blood, ‘Live!’ (G)I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall (H)and arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet (I)you were naked and bare.

“When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and (J)I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you (K)and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, (L)and you became mine.

and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: (A)On the day when I chose Israel, (B)I swore[a] to the offspring of the house of Jacob, (C)making myself known to them in the land of Egypt; (D)I swore to them, saying, I am the Lord your God. On that day I swore to them that (E)I would bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, a land (F)flowing with milk and honey, (G)the most glorious of all lands. And I said to them, (H)‘Cast away the detestable things (I)your eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with (J)the idols of Egypt; (K)I am the Lord your God.’ (L)But they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. (M)None of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.

“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them (N)and spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. (O)But I acted (P)for the sake of my name, (Q)that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, (R)in whose sight I made myself known to them in bringing them out of the land of Egypt. 10 (S)So I led them out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness. 11 (T)I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, (U)by which, if a person does them, he shall live. 12 Moreover, I gave them (V)my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, (W)that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
