Ezekiel 16:5-7
English Standard Version
5 No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you out of compassion for you, (A)but you were cast out on the open field, for you were abhorred, (B)on the day that you were born.
6 “And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing (C)in your blood, I said to you (D)in your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you (E)in your blood, ‘Live!’ 7 (F)I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall (G)and arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet (H)you were naked and bare.

Ezekiel 16:5-7
New International Version
5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.
6 “‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!”[a](A) 7 I made you grow(B) like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.(C)
