Ezekiel 16:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ and grow like a plant of the field.” You grew up and developed and reached the stage of full womanhood. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, but you were still naked and exposed.

⁸ I passed by you again and saw that you were old enough for love. I spread the edge of my cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I swore an oath to you and made a covenant with you, says the Lord God, and you became mine. ⁹ Then I bathed you in water, washed away the blood from your body, and anointed you with oil.
