Ezekiel 16:1-16
1Again the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto me, sayingH559, 2SonH1121 of manH120, cause JerusalemH3389 to knowH3045 her abominationsH8441; 3and sayH559, ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah unto JerusalemH3389: Thy birthH4138 and thy nativity is of the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669; the AmoriteH567 was thy fatherH1, and thy motherH517 was a HittiteH2850. 4And as for thy nativity, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navel was not cutH3772, neither wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to cleanse thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. 5No eyeH5869 pitied thee, to do any of these thingsH428 unto thee, to have compassionH2550 upon thee; but thou wast castH7993 out in the open fieldH7704, for that thy personH5315 was abhorred, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.
6And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee weltering in thy bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee, Though thou art in thy bloodH1818, liveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee, Though thou art in thy bloodH1818, liveH2421. 7I caused thee to multiplyH7235 as that which groweth in the fieldH7704, and thou didst increaseH7235 and wax greatH1431, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breastsH7699 were fashioned, and thy hairH8181 was grownH1431; yet thou wast nakedH5903 and bare. 8Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 wasH1961 the timeH6256 of love; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenantH1285 with thee, saith the LordH136 Jehovah, and thou becamest mine. 9Then washedH7364 I thee with waterH4325; yea, I thoroughly washedH7364 away thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointed thee with oilH8081. 10I clothedH3847 thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fineH8336 linenH8336, and coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897. 11And I decked thee with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627. 12And I putH5414 a ringH5141 upon thy noseH639, and ear-rings in thine earsH241, and a beautiful crownH5850 upon thy headH7218. 13Thus wast thou decked with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raiment was of fineH5560 linenH8336, and silkH4897, and broidered work; thou didst eatH398 fineH5560 flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081; and thou wast exceeding beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 unto royal estate. 14And thy renown wentH3318 forthH3318 among the nationsH1471 for thy beautyH3308; for it was perfectH3632, through my majestyH1926 which I had putH7760 upon thee, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
15But thou didst trustH982 in thy beautyH3308, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passedH5674 by; his it was. 16And thou didst takeH3947 of thy garmentsH899, and madest for thee highH1116 placesH1116 decked with divers colors, and playedst the harlot upon them: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it beH1961 so.
