ezekiel 16:7 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

ezekiel 16:7 "I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall, and reached the age for fine ornaments; [your] breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.
