Ezekiel 16:5

No eye, threw a shield over thee, by doing for thee one of these things taking pity on thee,- But thou wast cast out on the face of the field Because thy person, was abhorred, in the day thou wast born.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.

In Context

4And, as for thy birth, in the day thou wast born, Thy navel-cord was not cut, And, in water, wast thou not bathed to cleanse thee,— And, as for being salted, thou was not salted, And, as for being bandaged, thou wast not bandaged.

6And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, thrusting about thee in thy blood, And said to thee— Despite thy blood, live! Yea I said to thee— Despite thy blood, live!
