Ezekiel 16:8-16
8Then I passedH5674 byH5921 and saw youH7200, and you were indeedH2009 old enoughH6256 for loveH1730. So I spreadH6566 My cloakH3671 over youH5921 and coveredH3680 your nakednessH6172. I pledged MyselfH7650 to you, enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with youH854, and you becameH1961 Mine, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. 9Then I bathedH7364 you with waterH4325, rinsed offH7857 your bloodH1818H5921, and anointedH5480 you with oilH8081. 10I clothedH3847 you in embroidered clothH7553 and gave you sandalsH5274 of fine leatherH8476. I wrappedH2280 you in fine linenH8336 and coveredH3680 you with silkH4897. 11I adornedH5710 you with jewelryH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 onH5921 your wristsH3027 and a chainH7242 aroundH5921 your neckH1627. 12I putH5414 a ringH5141 inH5921 your noseH639, earringsH5694 onH5921 your earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 upon your headH7218.
13So you were adornedH5710 with goldH2091 and silverH3701, and your clothingH4403 was made of fine linenH8336, silkH4897, and embroidered clothH7553. You ateH398 fine flourH5560, honeyH1706, and oilH8081. You became veryH3966 beautifulH3302 and rose to beH6743 queenH4410. 14Your fameH8034 spreadH3318 among the nationsH1471 on account of your beautyH3308, forH3588 itH1931 was perfectH3632 in the splendorH1926 I bestowedH7760 on youH5921, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
15But because ofH5921 your fameH8034, you trustedH982 in your beautyH3308 and played the harlotH2181. You lavishedH8210 your favorsH8457 onH5921 everyoneH3605 who passed byH5674, and your beauty was theirs for the askingH1961. 16You tookH3947 some of your garmentsH899 and madeH6213 colorfulH2921 high placesH1116 for yourself, and on themH5921 you prostituted yourselfH2181. Such things should notH3808 have happenedH935; never shouldH3808 they have occurredH1961!
