...Then i passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you , "Live!" I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels...Later I passed by and when i looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine...You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the spendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Lord...
