Ezekiel 16:6-16
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.

Such things should not happen, nor be.
