Ezekiel 16:8 in Context — Ezekiel 16
6 Je passai près de toi, je t’aperçus baignée dans ton sang, et je te dis: Vis dans ton sang! Je te dis: Vis dans ton sang!
7 Je t’ai multipliée par dix milliers, comme les herbes des champs. Et tu pris de l’accroissement, tu grandis, tu devins d’une beauté parfaite; tes seins se formèrent, ta chevelure se développa. Mais tu étais nue, entièrement nue.
8 Je passai près de toi, je te regardai, et voici, ton temps était là, le temps des amours. J’étendis sur toi le pan de ma robe, je couvris ta nudité, je te jurai fidélité, je fis alliance avec toi, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel, et tu fus à moi.
9 Je te lavai dans l’eau, je fis disparaître le sang qui était sur toi, et je t’oignis avec de l’huile.
10 Je te donnai des vêtements brodés, et une chaussure de peaux teintes en bleu; je te ceignis de fin lin, et je te couvris de soie.
