Ezekiel 16:7-17 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

7. A myriad--as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair hath grown--And thou, naked and bare!

8. And I pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And thou dost become Mine.

9. And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume.

10. And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover thee with figured silk.

11. And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for thy hands, And a chain for thy neck.

12. And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears, And a crown of beauty on thy head.

13. And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour, and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom.

14. And go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy beauty--for it [is] complete, In My honour that I have set upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

15. And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every passer by--to him it is.

16. And thou dost take of thy garments, And dost make to thee spotted high-places, And dost go a-whoring upon them, They are not coming in--nor shall it be!

17. And thou dost take thy beauteous vessels Of My gold and My silver that I gave to thee, And dost make to thee images of a male, And dost go a-whoring with them,
