Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Ezekiel 15
⁶ Therefore, thus says the Lord God, ’As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
⁷ and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I set My face against them.
⁸ Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have acted unfaithfully,’" declares the Lord God.
Ezekiel 16
¹ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
² "Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations
³ and say, ’Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem, "Your origin and your birth are from the land of the Canaanite, your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
⁴ As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing; you were not rubbed with salt or even wrapped in cloths.
⁵ No eye looked with pity on you to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you. Rather you were thrown out into the open field, for you were abhorred on the day you were born.
⁶ "When I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you while you were in your blood, ’Live!’ Yes, I said to you while you were in your blood, ’Live!’
⁷ I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.
⁸ "Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine," declares the Lord God.
