Ezekiel 16 “Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem . . . as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown. . . .”

Miscellaneous:

QUESTIONS:
Obadiah 1:2 “Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.” (Is this Edom or Israel?)
