21. An invitation from your Kinsman.

And as for your birth, on the day you were born...

No eye pitied you out of compassion for you,

but you were cast out on the open field,

for you were abhorred,

on the day that you were born.

An invitation to be born, and so to live,
to feast on fine flour and honey and oil,
to dine at the table with your King.

And when I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood,

I said to you in your blood, 'Live!'

I said to you in your blood, 'Live!'

I made you flourish like a plant of the field.

Dress code: birthday suit.

And you grew up and became tall and arrived at full adornment...

yet you were naked and bare.

When I passed by you again and saw you,

behold, you were at the age for love,

 and I spread the corner of my garment over you

and covered your nakedness;

I made my vow to you and entered into a covenant with you,

declares the Lord GOD,

and you became mine.

Répondez s'il vous plaît while ye may. =)

Remember the days of your youth,

when you were naked and bare,

wallowing in your blood.

I'm 21 today.

Marianne & Hinda outside Fat Cat.

For all the year and all of "adulthood" ahead I pray,

Spread Your garment over me.

Be my Redeemer.

When just a corner of His robe will do,

He bestows splendor in abundance!

Then I bathed you with water

and washed off your blood from you

and anointed you with oil.

I clothed you also with embroidered cloth

and shod you with fine leather.

I wrapped you in fine linen

and covered you with silk.

And I adorned you with ornaments

and put bracelets on your wrists

and a chain on your neck.

And I put a ring on your nose

and earrings in your ears

and a beautiful crown on your head.

How could You be so good?

Thus you were adorned with gold and silver,

and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth.

 You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

And your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty,

for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you,

declares the Lord GOD.

For thus says the Lord GOD:
yet I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth,
and I will establish for you an everlasting covenant.
I will establish my covenant with you,
and you shall know that I am the LORD,
that you may remember and be confounded,
and never open your mouth again because of your shame,
when I atone for you for all that you have done,
declares the Lord GOD.
