New Testament

Ezekiel 16:7-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

8. "Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine," declares the Lord God.

9. "Then I bathed you with water, washed off your blood from you and anointed you with oil.

10. I also clothed you with embroidered cloth and put sandals of porpoise skin on your feet; and I wrapped you with fine linen and covered you with silk.

11. I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck.

12. I also put a ring in your nostril, earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.
