Ezekiel 16:6–14

⁶And I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, and I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! yea, I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! ⁷I caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fulness of beauty; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare. ⁸And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine. ⁹And I washed thee with water, and thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil; ¹⁰and I clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I bound thee about with byssus, and covered thee with silk. ¹¹And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck; ¹²and I put a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. ¹³Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was byssus, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou becamest exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom. ¹⁴And thy fame went forth among the nations for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my magnificence, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah.
