Ezekiel 16:8-14 New Century Version (NCV)

8. “ ‘Later when I passed by you and looked at you, I saw that you were old enough for love. So I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. I also made a promise to you and entered into an agreement with you so that you became mine, says the Lord God.

9. “ ‘Then I bathed you with water, washed all the blood off of you, and put oil on you.

10. I put beautiful clothes made with needlework on you and put sandals of fine leather on your feet. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11. I put jewelry on you: bracelets on your arms, a necklace around your neck,

12. a ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13. So you wore gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen, silk, and beautiful needlework. You ate fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You were very beautiful and became a queen.

14. Then you became famous among the nations, because you were so beautiful. Your beauty was perfect, because of the glory I gave you, says the Lord God.
