Ezekiel 16:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 When you were born, no one cut you loose from your mother or washed your body. No one rubbed your skin with salt and olive oil,[a] and wrapped you in warm blankets. 5 Not one person loved you enough to do any of these things, and no one even felt sorry for you. You were despised, thrown into a field, and forgotten.
6 I saw you lying there, rolling around in your own blood, and I couldn't let you die.

- 16.4 rubbed your skin with salt and olive oil: People believed this toughened the skin of the babies.
