5 No one felt sorry for you or took care of you. On the day you were born, your parents threw you out into the field, because no one wanted you.
6 “‘Then I passed by. I saw you lying there, kicking in the blood. You were covered with blood, but I said, “Please live!” Yes, you were covered with blood, but I said, “Please live!”
7 I helped you grow like a plant in the field. You grew and grew. You became a young woman: your periods began, your breasts grew, and your hair began to grow. 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 and covered your nakedness. I promised to marry you. I made the agreement 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.
10 I gave you a nice dress and soft leather sandals, a linen headband, and a silk scarf.
11 I also gave you some jewelry. I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck.
