⁸And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. and I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine.

⁹And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil.

¹⁰And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments.

¹¹I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck.

¹²And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

¹³And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen.

¹⁴And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God.
