Ezekiel 16:4-14
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.
