Ezekiel 16:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I saw you lying there, rolling around in your own blood, and I couldn't let you die. ⁷ I took care of you, like someone caring for a tender, young plant. You grew up to be a beautiful young woman with mature breasts and hair, but you were still naked.

⁸ When I saw you again, you were old enough to have sex. So I covered your naked body with my own robe.^[a] Then I solemnly promised that you would belong to me and that I, the Lord God, would take care of you.
