Ezekiel 16:14

God's Covenant Grace To Unfaithful And Rebellious Israel

¹³ So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful. ¹⁴ You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord. ¹⁵ But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

Among the Nations

Put on

Says the Lord

Declares The Lord

Jehovah
