Ezekiel 16:6-14

New King James Version

⁶ “And when I passed by you and saw you struggling in your own blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ Yes, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ ^7 (A)I made you ^[a]thrive like a plant in the field; and you grew, matured, and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

⁸ “When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; ^(B)so I spread ^[b]My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I ^(C)swore an oath to you and entered into a ^(D)covenant with you, and ^(E)you became Mine,” says the Lord God.

⁹ “Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed off your blood, and I anointed you with oil. ¹⁰ I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of ^[c]badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. ¹¹ I adorned you with ornaments, ^(F)put bracelets on your wrists, ^(G)and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a ^[d]jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^(H)You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^(I)beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. ^14 (J)Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.
