Ezekiel 16:12
A jewel on thy forehead - literally, "a nose-ring on thy nostril" (Genesis 24:22 note).
10 I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of1 badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 I adorned you with ornaments, aput bracelets on your wrists, band a chain on your neck.
12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. aYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly bbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty.
14 aYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.
Jerusalem’s Harlotry
15 a“But you trusted in your own beauty, bplayed the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.
16 aYou took some of your garments and adorned multicolored1 high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.
