Ezekiel 16:8-19

8“Again I passed by and saw you, and behold, you were truly at the time of love. I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says Adonai. “So you became Mine.

9Then I washed you with water, rinsed off your blood from on you and anointed you with oil.

10I clothed you with embroidery and put sandals of fine leather on you. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11I adorned you with jewelry, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace on your neck.

12I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears and a crown of glory on your head.

13So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your raiment was of fine linen, silk and embroidery. You ate fine flour, honey and oil. You became exceedingly beautiful, and advanced to the kingdom.

14Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect, through My splendor, which I bestowed on you.” It is a declaration of Adonai.

15“But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a harlot. You poured out your enticements on everyone who passed by—they were his.

16You took your garments, made high places decked out with various colors and fornicated on them—this should not happen, it should not be!

17You also took your jewelry—My gold and My silver, which I gave you—made male images for yourself and committed harlotry with them.

18You took your embroidered garments, covered them and placed My oil and My incense before them.

19My bread that I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey that I fed you with, you set before them as a sweet aroma. That is what happened.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
