Ezekiel 16:9

Read in context

Ezekiel 16:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.

9 Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.

10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
