The word of the Lord came unto me, saying: “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations; and thou shall say: Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy lineage and thy origin are from the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.When thou wast born, on the day thou came into the world, thy umbilical cord was not cut; thou wast not washed with water to cleanse thou, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling clothes.No eye looked upon thee with pity to do any of these things for thee out of compassion; but thou wast cast out on the day of thy birth, as though thou wast an object of loathing.Passing by thee, I saw thou trampled underfoot in thy blood, and I said unto thee, whilst thou wast covered in thy blood: “Live”; yes, I said unto thee: “Live in thy blood.”I made thou grow like the grass of the field; thou grew, thou became tall, thou flourished, thou reached the age of feminine beauty, thy breasts took shape, and thy hair grew; and thou wast naked and full of shame.I passed by thee and saw thou, and behold, it was the time for thee to be loved; I spread My garment over thou and covered thy shame; I swore to be faithful unto thee, and I made a covenant with thee, says the Lord God, and thou became Mine. I washed thou with water, I cleansed thou of thy blood, and I anointed thou with oil.I clothed thou in embroidered garments; I gave thou hyacinth-colored sandals; I girded thou with linen and covered thou with the finest garments. I adorned thou with jewelry; I put bracelets on thy hands and a necklace around thy neck.I placed a gold ring on thy lips, earrings in thy ears, and a magnificent crown on thy head. Thou wast adorned with gold and silver, and thou wast clothed in linen and embroidery of various colors; thou ate the finest flour, honey, and oil; thou became exceedingly beautiful, and thou attained royal dignity. Thy fame spread amongst the nations forasmuch as of thy beauty; for thee were perfect, thanks unto the beauty I had placed within thou, says the Lord God.But, trusting in thy beauty, thou prostituted thyself, using thy fame to thy advantage, and thou exposed thy fornication to all who passed by, giving thyself unto them. And I will keep in remembrance My covenant with thee on the day of thy youth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with thee, so that thou may keep in remembrance and be put to shame, and so that thou shalt no longer be able to open thy mouth in thy shame, when I have forgiven thou for all that thou hast done,” says the Lord God.
