Ezekiel 16:4-14

4And as for thy nativity, in the dayH3117 thou wast bornH3205 thy navelH8270 was notH3808 cutH3772, neitherH3808 wast thou washedH7364 in waterH4325 to cleanse thee; thou wast notH3808 salted at allH3117, norH3808 swaddled at allH3117.

5NoneH3808 eyeH5869 pitied thee, to doH6213 anyH259 of theseH428 unto thee, to have compassionH2550 uponH5921 thee; but thou wast castH7993 outH6440 in the openH6440 fieldH7704, for that thy personH5315 was abhorredH1604, in the dayH3117 that thou wast bornH3205.

6And when I passedH5674 by thee, and sawH7200 thee weltering in thy bloodH1818, I saidH559 unto thee, Though thou art in thy bloodH1818, liveH2421; yea, I saidH559 unto thee, Though thou art in thy bloodH1818, liveH2421.

7I causedH5414 thee to multiplyH7235 as the bud of the fieldH7704, and thou didst increaseH7235 and wax greatH1431, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breastsH7699 were fashionedH3559, and thine hairH8181 was grownH1431; yet thou wast nakedH5903 and bareH6181.

8NowH1961 when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 uponH5921 thee, beholdH2009, thy time was the time of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I sware unto thee, and enteredH935 intoH935 a covenantH1285 with thee, saith the LordH136 GODH136, and thou becamest mine.

9Then washedH7364 I thee with waterH4325; yea, I throughly washedH7364 awayH7857 thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointed thee with oilH8081.

10I clothedH3847 thee also with broidered workH7553, and shod thee with sealskin, and I girded thee about with fineH8336 linenH8336, and coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897.

11I decked thee also with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 uponH5921 thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627.

12And I putH5414 a ringH5141 uponH5921 thy noseH639, and earringsH5141 in thine earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 uponH5921 thine headH7218.

13Thus wast thou decked with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raimentH4403 was of fineH5560 linenH8336, and silkH4897, and broidered workH7553; thou didst eatH398 fineH5560 flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081: and thou wast exceedingH3966 beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 unto royalH4410 estate.

14And thy renownH8034 wentH3318 forthH3318 among the nationsH1471 for thy beautyH3308; for it was perfectH3632 throughH5921 my majestyH1926 whichH834 I had putH7760 uponH5921 thee, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
