6. “When I passed by you, and saw you kicking in your blood. I said to you, ‘In your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘In your blood, live!’
7. I made you grow as myriads, like a branch of the field. You grew up, got tall and came to full adornment. Your breasts were formed, your hair sprouted. Yet you were naked and bare.
8. “Again I passed by and saw you, and behold, you were truly at the time of love. I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says Adonai. “So you became Mine.
9. Then I washed you with water, rinsed off your blood from on you and anointed you with oil.
10. I clothed you with embroidery and put sandals of fine leather on you. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
11. I adorned you with jewelry, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace on your neck.
12. I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears and a crown of glory on your head.
13. So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your raiment was of fine linen, silk and embroidery. You ate fine flour, honey and oil. You became exceedingly beautiful, and advanced to the kingdom.
14. Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect, through My splendor, which I bestowed on you.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
15. “But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a harlot. You poured out your enticements on everyone who passed by—they were his.
16. You took your garments, made high places decked out with various colors and fornicated on them—this should not happen, it should not be!
17. You also took your jewelry—My gold and My silver, which I gave you—made male images for yourself and committed harlotry with them.
18. You took your embroidered garments, covered them and placed My oil and My incense before them.
19. My bread that I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey that I fed you with, you set before them as a sweet aroma. That is what happened.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
20. “You took your sons and your daughters whom you bore for Me, and sacrificed them to be eaten by them. Were your obscene practices not enough?
21. You slaughtered My children, making them pass through fire for them.
