3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy †dbirth and thy nativity is of the land of eCanaan; fthy father was gan Amorite, and fthy mother han Hittite. 4 And as for thy nativity, iin the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water ||to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 5 jNone 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 kthe lothing of thy person, iin 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 kkin thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast kkin thy blood, Live. 7 lI have †caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to †excellent nornaments: othy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast pnaked and bare. 8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and qI 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 rthou becamest mine. 9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy †blood from thee, and sI anointed thee with oil. 10 I clothed thee also with tbroidered work, and ttshod thee with ubadgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with vfine linen, and I covered thee with wsilk. 11 xI decked thee also with ornaments, and I put ybracelets upon thy hands, and za chain aon thy neck. 12 And I put a jewel on thy †forehead, and bearrings in thine ears, and ca beautiful crown upon thine head. 13 Thus dwast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of efine linen, and esilk, and ebroidered work; fthou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and gthou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. 14 And hthy renown went forth among the heathen ghfor thy beauty: for it was perfect through my icomeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
