Ezekiel 16:8-14

Expanded Bible

⁸ “‘Later when I passed by you and looked at you, ·I saw that [^Tbehold] you were old enough for love. So I spread ·my robe [^Lthe corner of my garment; Deut. 22:30; Ruth 3:9] over you and covered your nakedness. I also ·made a promise [swore; made a vow] to you and entered into an ·agreement [covenant; treaty; Ex. 19:5] 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 [anointed you with oil/ointment]. ¹⁰ I put ·beautiful clothes made with needlework [embroidered clothing] 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 [chain] around your neck, ¹² a ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful ·crown [tiara] on your head. ¹³ So you ·wore [were adorned with] gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen, silk, and ·beautiful needlework [embroidery]. You ate fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You were very beautiful and became ·a queen [royalty]. ¹⁴ Then ·you became famous [your fame spread] among the nations, because you were so beautiful. Your beauty was perfect, because of the ·glory [splendor] I gave you, says the Lord God.
