Ezekiel 16:4-5

The Lord's Faithless Bride

4 And as for your birth, f on the day you were born your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to cleanse you, nor rubbed with salt, nor wrapped in swaddling cloths. 5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, g but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, f on the day that you were born.
