Ezekiel 16:6–14

⁶“And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ ^7eI made you ³thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

⁸“When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^fso I spread ⁴My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^gswore an oath to you and entered into a ^hcovenant with you, and ⁱyou became Mine,” says the Lord God.

⁹“Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. ¹⁰I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of ⁵badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. ¹¹I adorned you with ornaments, ^jput bracelets on your wrists, ^kand a chain on your neck. ¹²And I put a ⁶jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^lYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^mbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty. ¹⁴ⁿYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.
