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

⁶ “And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing ^(F)in your blood, I said to you ^(G)in your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you ^(H)in your blood, ‘Live!’ ^7 (I)I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall ^(J)and arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet ^(K)you were naked and bare.

⁸ “When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and ^(L)I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you ^(M)and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, ^(N)and you became mine. ⁹ Then I bathed you with water and washed off your blood from you and ^(O)anointed you with oil. ^10 (P)I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.^{[a] 11 (Q)}And I adorned you with ornaments and ^(R)put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. ^(S)You ate fine flour and honey and oil. ^(T)You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.
