Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

 2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her ^aabominations,

 3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy ^abirth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy ^bmother an Hittite.

 4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast ^aborn thy ^bnavel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to ^csupple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

 5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

 6 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.

 7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and ^awaxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast ^bnaked and bare.

 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of ^alove; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.

 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly ^awashed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

 10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
