5. “No eye felt sorry for you, to do any of these for you, to have compassion on you. But you were thrown out into the open field, to the loathing of your life on the day you were born.
6. “Then I passed by you and saw you trampled down in your own blood, and I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ And I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’
7. “I have let you grow like a plant in the field. And you are grown and are great, and you come in the finest ornaments. – breasts were formed, your hair grew, and you were naked and bare.
8. “Again I passed by you and looked upon you and saw that your time was the time of love. And I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. And I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,” declares the Master יהוה.
9. “And I washed you in water, and I washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil.
10. “And I dressed you in embroidered work and gave you sandals of leather. And I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
11. “And I adorned you with ornaments, and I 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 crown of adorning on your head.
13. “Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, and honey, and oil. And you were exceedingly pretty, and became fit for royalty.
14. “And your name went out among the nations because of your loveliness, for it was perfect, by My splendour which I had put on you,” declares the Master יהוה.
15. “But you trusted in your own loveliness, and whored because of your name, and poured out your whorings on everyone passing by who would have it.
16. “And you took some of your garments and made multi-coloured high places for yourself, and whored on them – which should not have come about, nor shall it be.
17. “And you took your splendid adornments, of My gold and My silver that I gave you, and made for yourself images of a male and whored with them.
18. “And you took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them.
19. “And My food which I gave you, fine flour and oil and honey which I fed you, you set it before them as sweet incense – and so it was,” declares the Master יהוה.
20. “And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you slaughtered as food to them. Were your whorings a small matter,
21. that you have slain My children and gave them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire?
22. “And in all your abominations and whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, trampled down in your blood.
23. “Then it came to be after all your evil – ‘Woe, woe to you!’ declares the Master יהוה –
24. that you also built an arched place for yourself, and made a high place in every street for yourself.
25. “You built your high places at the head of every way, and made your loveliness to be loathed. And you parted your feet to everyone who passed by, and increased your whorings.
