Ezekiel 16:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

But you were still bare and naked. ⁸ I looked you over. I saw you were ready for love, so I spread my clothes over you^[a] and covered your nakedness. I promised to marry you. I made the agreement^[b] with you, and you became mine.’” This is what the Lord God said.

⁹ “‘I washed you in water. I poured water over you to wash away the blood that was on you, and then I put oil on your skin.
