And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood.
וְאֵ֤ת כָּל־תּוֹעֲבֹתַ֙יִךְ֙ וְתַזְנֻתַ֔יִךְ לֹ֥א זכרתי זָכַ֖רְתְּ אֶת־יְמֵ֣י נְעוּרָ֑יִךְ בִּֽהְיוֹתֵךְ֙ עֵרֹ֣ם וְעֶרְיָ֔ה מִתְבּוֹסֶ֥סֶת בְּדָמֵ֖ךְ הָיִֽית׃
2 Church Fathers comment on this verse
Therefore, you have failed to recall the days of your early life, when you were bare and ridiculed in your blood, when you were in destitution, standing at the shaving, and the Egyptian taskmasters forced you to bear the pots with bases.
You have sacrificed your children, offering them to me when you made these offerings to others. This act surpasses all your acts of fornication and abominations. Indeed, the most grievous and sinful of all is this wrongful slaying of children, committed by those who believed, in their violence, that they were taking measures to avert disaster. You have forgotten the days of your youth, when you were vulnerable and despised, surrounded by your own blood, and yet you survived. You did not reflect on those early days, when you were exposed and undesirable, mingled in your blood, yet you continued to live.
