1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2. Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.
3. And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite.
4. And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel wits not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.
5. No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.
6. And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood, and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.
