Ezekiel 16:8-19

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.

15But thou didst trustH982 in thy beautyH3308, and playedst the harlotH2181 becauseH5921 of thy renownH8034, and pouredst outH8210 thy whoredoms on everyH3605 one that passedH5674 by; his it was.

16And thou didst takeH3947 of thy garmentsH899, and madest for thee highH1116 placesH1116 decked with divers colours, and playedst the harlotH2181 uponH5921 them: the like things shall notH3808 comeH935, neitherH3808 shall it be soH6213.

17Thou didst also takeH3947 thy fair jewelsH3627 of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, whichH834 I had givenH5414 thee, and madest for thee imagesH6754 of menH2145, and didst playH2181 the harlotH2181 with them;

18and thou tookest thy broidered garmentsH899, and coveredst them, and didst setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them.

19My breadH3899 also whichH834 I gaveH5414 thee, fineH5560 flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fedH398 thee, thou didst even setH5414 it beforeH6440 them for a sweet savour, and thusH1961 it was; saith the LordH136 GODH136.
