Ezekiel 16:1-6 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. The Lord spoke to me again.

2. “Mortal man,” he said, “point out to Jerusalem what disgusting things she has done.

3. Tell Jerusalem what the Sovereign Lord is saying to her:“You were born in the land of Canaan. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.

4. When you were born, no one cut your umbilical cord or washed you or rubbed you with salt or wrapped you in cloth.

5. No one took enough pity on you to do any of these things for you. When you were born, no one loved you. You were thrown out in an open field.

6. “Then I passed by and saw you squirming in your own blood. You were covered with blood, but I wouldn't let you die.
