4As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.
5No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.
6And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;
7And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.
8Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.
9Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.
10And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.
