Ezekiel 16

6 Ref When I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live.

7 Ref I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

8 Ref Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

9 Ref Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

10 Ref I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

11 Ref I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

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

13 Ref Thus was you decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper to royal estate.

14 Ref Your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord Yahweh.

15 Ref But you did trust in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.

16 Ref You took of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
