Ezekiel 16:8-16

8Now when I passedH5674 by thee, and lookedH7200 upon thee, behold, thy timeH6256 was the timeH6256 of loveH1730; and I spreadH6566 my skirtH3671 over thee, and coveredH3680 thy nakednessH6172: yea, I sworeH7650 to thee, and enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, and thou becamest mine. 9Then I washedH7364 thee with waterH4325; yea, I thoroughly washed awayH7857 thy bloodH1818 from thee, and I anointedH5480 thee with oilH8081.1 10I clothedH3847 thee also with embroidered workH7553, and shodH5274 thee with badgers’ skinH8476, and I girdedH2280 thee with fine linenH8336, and I coveredH3680 thee with silkH4897. 11I deckedH5710 thee also with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627. 12And I putH5414 a jewelH5141 on thy foreheadH639, and earringsH5694 in thy earsH241, and a beautifulH8597 crownH5850 upon thy headH7218.2 13Thus wast thou deckedH5710 with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raimentH4403 was of fine linenH8336, and silkH4897, and embroidered workH7553; thou didst eatH398 fine flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081: and thou wast exceedingH3966 beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 into a kingdomH4410. 14And thy renownH8034 went forthH3318 among the heathenH1471 for thy beautyH3308: for it was perfectH3632 through my comelinessH1926, which I had putH7760 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.

15But thou didst trustH982 in thy own beautyH3308, and didst play the harlotH2181 because of thy renownH8034, and didst pour outH8210 thy harlotriesH8457 on every one that passed byH5674; his it was. 16And of thy garmentsH899 thou didst takeH3947, and didst deckH6213 thy high placesH1116 with various coloursH2921, and didst play the harlotH2181 upon them: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it be so .
