Ezekiel 16:8 in Context — Ezekiel 16

6 E quando passei junto a ti, vi-te suja em teu sangue, e te disse em teu sangue: Vive; e te disse em teu sangue: Vive.

7 Eu te multipliquei como o broto do campo, e cresceste, e engrandeceste; e chegaste à grande formosura; os seios te cresceram, e teu pelo cresceu; porém estavas nua e descoberta.

8 E quando passei junto a ti, e te vi, e eis que teu tempo era tempo de amores; e estendi meu manto sobre ti, e cobri tua nudez; e prestei juramento a ti, e entrei em pacto contigo, e foste minha diz o Senhor DEUS.

9 Então te lavei com água, e te enxaguei de teu sangue, e te ungi com óleo;

10 E te vesti de bordado, calcei-te com couro, cingi-te de linho fino, e te cobri de seda.
