Ezekiel 16:8-14
8“Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, 1you were at the time for love; so I 2spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also 3swore to you and 4entered into a covenant with you so that you 5became Mine,” declares the Lord God. 9“Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you and 6anointed you with oil. 10I also clothed you with 7embroidered 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 8bracelets on your hands and a 9necklace around your neck. 12I also put a 10ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a 11beautiful crown on your head. 13Thus you were adorned with 12gold 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 13royalty. 14Then your 14fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was 15perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord God.
