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 3garment over you and covered your nakedness. I also 4swore an oath to you and 5entered into a covenant with you so that you 6became Mine,” declares the Lord God. 9“Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you, and 7anointed you with oil. 10I also clothed you with 8colorfully woven cloth and put sandals of 9fine leather on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk. 11I adorned you with jewelry, put 10bracelets on your wrists, and a 11necklace around your neck. 12I also put a 12ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a 13beautiful crown on your head. 13So you were adorned with 14gold 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 15royalty. 14Then your 16fame spread 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.
