Ezekiel 16:7-14
7I 1made you 2very numerous, like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine jewelry; 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 5garment over you and covered your nakedness. I also 6swore an oath to you and 7entered into a covenant with you so that you 8became Mine,” declares the Lord God. 9“Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you, and 9anointed you with oil. 10I also clothed you with 10colorfully woven cloth and put sandals of 11fine leather on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11I adorned you with jewelry, put 12bracelets on your wrists, and a 13necklace around your neck. 12I also put a 14ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a 15beautiful crown on your head. 13So you were adorned with 16gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk, and colorfully woven cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to 17royalty. 14Then your 18fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was 19perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord God.
