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 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.
15“But you 18trusted in your beauty and 19became unfaithful because of your fame, and you poured out your 20obscene practices on every passer-by to whom it might be tempting. 16You took some of your clothes, made for yourself 21high places of various colors, and committed prostitution on them, which should not come about nor happen. 17You also took your beautiful 2223jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images so that you might commit prostitution with them. 18Then you took your colorfully woven cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them. 19Also 24My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey with which I fed you, 25you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened,” declares the Lord God.
