Ezekiel 16:7-14
7I 1made you 2numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.
8“Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, 3you were at the time for love; so I 4spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also 5swore to you and 6entered into a covenant with you so that you 7became Mine,” declares the Lord God. 9“Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you and 8anointed you with oil. 10I also clothed you with 9embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11I adorned you with ornaments, put 10bracelets on your hands and a 11necklace around your neck. 12I also put a 12ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a 13beautiful crown on your head. 13Thus you were adorned with 14gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to 15royalty. 14Then your 16fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was 17perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord God.
