Ezekiel 16:6-8

6“When I passedH5674 by you and sawH7200 you squirmingH947 in your bloodH1818, I saidH559 to you while you were in your bloodH1818, ‘LiveH2421!’ Yes, I saidH559 to you while you were in your bloodH1818, ‘LiveH2421!’ 7I 1madeH5414 you 2veryH7233 numerousH7233, like plantsH6780 of the fieldH7704. Then you grewH7235 upH7235, becameH1431 tallH1431 and reachedH935 the age for fineH5716 jewelryH5716; your breastsH7699 were formedH3559 and your hairH8181 had grownH6779. Yet you were nakedH5903 and bareH6181.

8“Then I passedH5674 by you and sawH7200 you, and beholdH2009, 3you were at the timeH6256 for loveH1730; so I 4spreadH6566 My 5garmentH3671 overH5921 you and coveredH3680 your nakednessH6172. I also 6sworeH7650 anH7650 oathH7650 to you and 7enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with you so that you 8becameH1961 Mine,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.
