George Leo Haydock, on Ezek 16:6

“And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood.”

“Thy blood, unwashed after being born, ver. 4. (Calmet) — The Jews were solicitous to increase their numbers, and exposed none. (Tacitus, Hist. v.) — But other nations did, if they thought the child would be troublesome, or a disgrace. (Calmet) — The prophet sends this admonition from Chaldea, and shews how God had selected his people from among the barbarous nations, and decorated them with many privileges of the law, sacrifices, &c. (Worthington)”
