Ezekiel 16:4 in Context — Ezekiel 16

2 Filho do homem, notifica a Jerusalém suas abominações,

3 E dize: Assim diz o Senhor DEUS a Jerusalém: Tua origem e teu nascimento [procedem] da terra de Canaã; teu pai era amorreu, e tua mãe Heteia.

4 E quanto a teu nascimento, no dia que nasceste não foi cortado o teu umbigo, nem foste lavada com água para ficares limpa; nem foste esfregada com sal, nem foste envolvida em faixas.

5 Não houve olho algum que se compadecesse de ti, para te fazer algo disto, tendo misericórdia; ao invés disso, foste lançada sobre a face do campo, por nojo de tua alma, no dia em que nasceste.

6 E quando passei junto a ti, vi-te suja em teu sangue, e te disse em teu sangue: Vive; e te disse em teu sangue: Vive.
