Ezechiel 16:7
I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman's ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te : et multiplicata es, et grandis effecta, et ingressa es, et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem : ubera tua intumuerunt, et pilus tuus germinavit : et eras nuda, et confusione plena.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- πληθύνου, καθὼς ἡ ἀνατολὴ τοῦ ἀγροῦ δέδωκά σε· καὶ ἐπληθύνθης καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθης, καὶ εἰσῆλθες εἰς πόλεις πόλεων. οἱ μαστοί σου ἀνορθώθησαν, καὶ ἡ θρίξ σου ἀνέτειλεν, σὺ δὲ ἦσθα γυμνὴ καὶ ἀσχημονοῦσα.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- רְבָבָ֗ה כְּצֶ֤מַח הַשָּׂדֶה֙ נְתַתִּ֔יךְ וַתִּרְבִּי֙ וַֽתִּגְדְּלִ֔י וַתָּבֹ֖אִי בַּעֲדִ֣י עֲדָיִ֑ים שָׁדַ֤יִם נָכֹ֨נוּ֙ וּשְׂעָרֵ֣ךְ צִמֵּ֔חַ וְאַ֖תְּ עֵרֹ֥ם וְעֶרְיָֽה
Haydock's commentary
Woman's. Hebrew, "the ornament of ornaments;" hadaiim instead of harim in Septuagint, "the cities of cities," (Calmet) or the highest glory, being arrived at that age when decorations are most sought after.
Fashioned. Literally, "swelling." Septuagint, "erect." (Haydock)
Hair, (pilus.) Women are allowed by the canon law to marry at twelve. (Calmet)
