6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “fair” →
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
