2 “Mortal man,” he said, “point out to Jerusalem what disgusting things she has done.
3 Tell Jerusalem what the Sovereign Lord is saying to her:“You were born in the land of Canaan. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 When you were born, no one cut your umbilical cord or washed you or rubbed you with salt or wrapped you in cloth.
5 No one took enough pity on you to do any of these things for you. When you were born, no one loved you. You were thrown out in an open field.
6 “Then I passed by and saw you squirming in your own blood. You were covered with blood, but I wouldn't let you die.
7 I made you grow like a healthy plant. You grew strong and tall and became a young woman. Your breasts were well formed, and your hair had grown, but you were naked.
8 “As I passed by again, I saw that the time had come for you to fall in love. I covered your naked body with my coat and promised to love you. Yes, I made a marriage covenant with you, and you became mine.” This is what the Sovereign Lord says.
