Ezekiel 16:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations

3 and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.
