Ezekiel 16:8-19

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.

15“But you 16trusted in your beauty and 17played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by 18who might be willing. 16You took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors and played the harlot on them, 19which should never come about nor happen. 17You also took your beautiful 2021jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them. 18Then you took your embroidered cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them. 19Also 22My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, 23you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened,” declares the Lord God.
