your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite

Ezekiel 16 is not too pretty. God doesn't seem bothered by the reality of humanity as He(through Ezekiel) speaks of a newborn baby covered in blood and left in a field to die. It's reality. We are that way before God restores us. Rustle started out that way too. God redeems us from the state we were in.
The chapter goes on to be a warning. When God has taken you away from being a bloody baby in a field. When you are starting to grow up. When you are becoming the man or woman that God wants you to be, don't get so full of yourself that you think you can make it without Him. Because you can't. There may be things in the world that cause you to take your focus off God, if you are doing ok, but He always is ready and waiting for you to come back.
