Holy Scripture

Ezekiel 16:13

A church father on this verse
“(Verse 13.) And you are adorned with gold and silver. We have often said that gold pertains to the mind, and silver to eloquence. May the Lord grant us to receive divine understanding and wisdom, and to bring forth with eloquence what we conceive in our minds, and by no means to make an idol out of them as heretics do…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Commentary on Ezekiel

13So thou wast adorned with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: thou didst eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and didst become extremely beautiful.

12And I put a pendant on thy nostril, and rings in thine ears, and a crown of glory on thy head.

— Ezekiel 16:13 —

14And thy name went forth among the nations for thy beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, and in the comeliness which I put upon thee, saith the Lord.

15Thou didst trust in thy beauty, and didst go a-whoring because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy fornication on every passerby.
