Ezekiel 16:4

And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

KJV

Et quando nata es, in die ortus tui non est præcisus umbilicus tuus, et aqua non es lota in salutem, nec sale salita, nec involuta pannis.

Vulgate

καὶ ἡ γένεσίς σου· ἐν ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐτέχθης οὐκ ἔδησας τοὺς μαστοὺς σου, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι οὐκ ἐλούσθης οὐδὲ ἁλὶ ἡλίσθης, καὶ σπαργάνοις οὐκ ἐσπαργανώθης,

LXX

And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
