In context
1Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2Son of man, testify to Jerusalem of her iniquities;
— Ezekiel 16:3 —
4And as for thy birth in the day wherein thou wast born, thou didst not bind thy breasts, and thou wast not washed in water, neither wast thou salted with salt, neither wast thou swathed in swaddling bands.
5Nor did mine eye pity thee, to do for thee one of all these things, to feel at all for thee; but thou wast cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of thy person, in the day wherein thou wast born.
