    7I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew and became tall and reached the age of maturity. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew, but you were still naked and bare.

    8Then I passed by you again and saw you, and behold, you were at the age for love. So I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I made my vow to you, entered into a covenant with you, declares the Lord GOD, and you became mine.

    9Then I washed you with water and rinsed the blood from you and anointed you with oil.

    10I clothed you with embroidered garments, put sandals of fine leather on you, wrapped you in fine linen, and covered you with silk.

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

    12I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

    13So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your garments were of fine linen, silk, and embroidery. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil, and you became exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

    14Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.

    17You also took the fine jewelry made of gold and silver that I had given you, and you made male idols for yourself and engaged in prostitution with them.
