Ezekiel 28:13-19

13You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you:1 ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire,2 turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

14You were anointed as a guardian cherub,for I had ordained you.You were on the holy mountain of God;you walked among the fiery stones.15From the day you were createdyou were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you.
16By the vastness of your trade,you were filled with violence, and you sinned.So I drove you in disgracefrom the mountain of God,and I banished you, O guardian cherub,from among the fiery stones.17Your heart grew proud of your beauty;you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor;so I cast you to the earth;I made you a spectacle before kings.
18By the multitude of your iniquitiesand the dishonesty of your tradingyou have profaned your sanctuaries.So I made fire come from within you,and it consumed you.I reduced you to ashes on the groundin the eyes of all who saw you.19All the nations who know youare appalled over you.You have come to a horrible endand will be no more.’”
