Ezek. 16:3‑13• 3{i}and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of the Canaanite: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite.{/i}
4{i}And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water for cleansing; thou wast not rubbed with salt at all, nor swaddled at all.{/i}
5{i}No eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, from abhorrence of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.{/i}
6{i}And I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, and I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live! yea, I said unto thee, in thy blood, Live!{/i}
7{i}I caused thee to multiply, as the bud of the field; and thou didst increase and grow great, and thou camest to fullness of beauty; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: but thou wast naked and bare.{/i}
8{i}And I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, and behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness; and I swore unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.{/i}
9{i}And I washed thee with water, and thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil;{/i}
10{i}and I clothed thee with embroidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I bound thee about with byssus, and covered thee with silk.{/i}
11{i}And I decked thee with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck;{/i}
12{i}and I put a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.{/i}
13{i}Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was byssus, and silk, and embroidered work. Thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil; and thou becamest exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.{/i} (Ezek. 16:3‑13)
