Ezekiel 16:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you; but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, on the day that you were born.

⁶ “And when I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live, ⁷ and grow up^[a] like a plant of the field.’ And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full maidenhood;^[b] your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare.
