5. No one felt sorry for you. No one would do any of these things for you. No, you were thrown out into the open field. This is because you were hated on the day you were born.
6. “‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood. I said to you, “Live!”
7. I made you grow like a plant in the field. You grew up and became tall. You grew up and became like a beautiful jewel. Your breasts formed. Your hair grew. But you were naked and without clothes.
8. “‘Later I passed by you and looked at you. I saw that you were at the time for love. So I spread my robe over you and covered your nakedness. I also made a marriage promise to you. I entered into an agreement with you. Then you became mine, says the Lord God.
9. “‘Then I bathed you with water and washed all the blood off of you. I put oil on you.
10. I put beautiful clothes made with needlework on you. I 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. I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck.
12. I also put a ring in your nose and earrings in your ears. And I put a beautiful crown on your head.
13. So you wore gold and silver. Your dress was made of fine linen, silk and beautiful needlework. You ate fine flour, honey and olive oil. You were very beautiful and became a queen.
