Ezekiel:16:1-15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Again the word of the LORD came unto me ,
saying ,
*
Son of man ,
cause Jerusalem to know her abominations ,
*
And say ,
Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem ;
Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan ;
thy father was an Amorite ,
and thy mother an Hittite .
*
And as for thy nativity ,
in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut ,
neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee ;
thou wast not salted at all ,
nor swaddled at all .
*
None eye pitied thee ,
to do any of these unto thee ,
to have compassion upon thee ;
but thou wast cast out in the open field ,
to the lothing of thy person ,
in the day that thou wast born .
*
And when I passed by thee ,
and saw thee polluted in thine own blood ,
I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood ,
Live ;
yea ,
I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood ,
Live .
*
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field ,
and thou hast increased and waxen great ,
and thou art come to excellent ornaments :
thy breasts are fashioned ,
and thine hair is grown ,
whereas thou wast naked and bare .
*
Now when I passed by thee ,
and looked upon thee ,
behold ,
thy time was the time of love ;
and I spread my skirt over thee ,
and covered thy nakedness :
yea ,
I sware unto thee ,
and entered into a covenant with thee ,
saith the Lord GOD ,
and thou becamest mine .
*
Then washed I thee with water ;
yea ,
I throughly washed away thy blood from thee ,
and I anointed thee with oil .
*
I clothed thee also with broidered work ,
and shod thee with badgers '
skin ,
and I girded thee about with fine linen ,
and I covered thee with silk .
*
I decked thee also with ornaments ,
and I put bracelets upon thy hands ,
and a chain on thy neck .
*
And I put a jewel on thy forehead ,
and earrings in thine ears ,
and a beautiful crown upon thine head .
*
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver ;
and thy raiment was of fine linen ,
and silk ,
and broidered work ;
thou didst eat fine flour ,
and honey ,
and oil :
and thou wast exceeding beautiful ,
and thou didst prosper into a kingdom .
*
And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty :
for it was perfect through my comeliness ,
which I had put upon thee ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
But thou didst trust in thine own beauty ,
and playedst the harlot because of thy renown ,
and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by ;
his it was .
