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.
KJV
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.
Vulgate
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.
LXX
I caused thee to multiply as that which groweth in the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent ornament; thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare.
