Ezekiel 16:6-14

“ ‘Then I passed by, and I saw you there squirming in your blood. And as you lay there covered with blood, I spoke over you: “Live!” And I made you grow and flourish like the grass of the fields. You grew up and developed until you produced the most beautiful of features. You developed the breasts and hair of a young woman, but you were still quite naked and exposed. Then later, I passed by again and looked upon you. And behold, I saw that your time had come—you were now old enough for love. So, I spread the edge of my robe over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my sacred oath. I, Lord YAHWEH, made a divine covenant with you, saying, “You will be mine,” and I took you as my own and promised to care for you. Then I washed the blood off you and anointed you with fragrant oil. I dressed you in beautiful, embroidered gowns, fine leather shoes, a fine linen headband, and wrapped you in rich fabric. I adorned you with jewels, beautiful bracelets, and necklaces. I gave you a nose ring and earrings and placed a sparkling crown on your head. You were decked with gold and silver jewelry and dressed in luxurious linen and rich embroidered cloth. Your meals were feasts, made with the best bread, honey, and oil. You grew more and more beautiful, and you rose to be queen. And you became famous throughout the world because the splendor I lavished on you made your beauty perfect, declares Lord YAHWEH.’ ”
