Ezekiel 16:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 “I passed by you and saw you lying in your blood, and I said to you as you lay in your blood: Live! Yes, I said to you as you lay in your blood: Live![a] 7 I made you thrive[b] like plants of the field.(A) You grew up and matured and became very beautiful.[c] Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were stark naked.
8 “Then I passed by you and saw you, and you were indeed at the age for love. So I spread the edge of My garment over you and covered your nakedness.(B) I pledged Myself to you,(C) entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine.”(D) This is the declaration of the Lord God.
