Ezekiel 16:6–14

⁶And I do pass over by thee, And I see thee trodden down in thy blood, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live. ⁷A myriad—as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair hath grown—And thou, naked and bare! ⁸And I pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time is a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And thou dost become Mine. ⁹And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume. ¹⁰And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger’s skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk. ¹¹And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for thy neck. ¹²And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on thy head. ¹³And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing is fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom. ¹⁴And go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty—for it is complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
