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)
8 I passed by you again and looked on you; you were at the age for love. I spread the edge of my cloak over you and covered your nakedness: I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you became mine.(F) 9 Then I bathed you with water and washed off the blood from you and anointed you with oil. 10 I clothed you with embroidered cloth and with sandals of fine leather; I bound you in fine linen and covered you with rich fabric.[c] 11 I adorned you with ornaments: I put bracelets on your arms, a chain on your neck,(G) 12 a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head. 13 You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, rich fabric,[d] and embroidered cloth. You had choice flour and honey and oil for food. You grew exceedingly beautiful, fit to be a queen.(H)

Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.
6 “‘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](F) 7 I made you grow(G) 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.(H)
8 “‘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(I) over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant(J) with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.(K)
9 “‘I bathed you with water and washed(L) the blood from you and put ointments on you. 10 I clothed you with an embroidered(M) dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen(N) and covered you with costly garments.(O) 11 I adorned you with jewelry:(P) I put bracelets(Q) on your arms and a necklace(R) around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose,(S) earrings(T) on your ears and a beautiful crown(U) on your head.(V) 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes(W) were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil(X) and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen.(Y)
