God’s Compassion and Covenant

6

When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, Though you are in your blood, live.

7

I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

8

Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord GOD, and you became mine.

9

Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

10

I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

11

I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

12

I put a ring on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13

Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.

14

Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you, says the Lord GOD.
