10 I put an embroidered dress on you and fine leather sandals on your feet. I dressed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 I gave you jewelry. I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.

12 I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

13 So you wore gold and silver jewelry. You were dressed in fine linen, silk, and embroidered clothes. Your food was flour, honey, and olive oil. You were very beautiful, and eventually you became a queen.
