Ezekiel 16:6-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

6. “And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’

7. I made you flourish like a plant of the field. And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full adornment. Your breasts were formed, and your hair had grown; yet you were naked and bare.

8. “When I passed by you again and saw you, behold, you were at the age for love, and I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness; I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord God, and you became mine.

9. Then I bathed you with water and washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil.

10. I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11. And I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck.

12. And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.
