And you took your embroidered garments to cover them: For your embroidered garments, see verse 10. The girl used these clothes to cover them, that is, the male statues. Either she used the clothes to dress them, or more likely she draped the beautiful material over them.

And set my oil and my incense before them: This clause describes the way the people of Jerusalem used the sacred oil and incense that they should have used to worship God to worship the idols instead. For oil see verse 13; for incense see 8.11. New Century Version provides a good model here, saying “You gave my oil and incense as an offering to them.”
