Ezekiel 16:8-14

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.
