Ezekiel 16

6 Ref And when I went past you and saw you stretched out in your blood, I said to you, Though you are stretched out in your blood, have life;

7 Ref And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

8 Ref Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

9 Ref Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

10 Ref And I had you clothed with needlework, and put leather shoes on your feet, folding fair linen about you and covering you with silk.

11 Ref And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

12 Ref And I put a ring in your nose and ear-rings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 Ref So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

14 Ref You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

15 Ref But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

16 Ref And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.
