Ezekiel 16a - The Abandoned Baby

In the second in his series of parables, the prophet compares the people of Isael to an unfaithful wife.  In this first portion, he describes how Israel was an abandoned child, full of blood and dirt and left to die.  God brought us to adulthood, took care of us until we grew into a beautiful young woman,  God took us under His wings, and gave them all that we needed to prosper.
