Ezekiel 28:13-19

13You lived in God's beautiful garden, Eden. You wore valuable jewels on your clothes. The jewels were ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. They were fixed to pieces of gold. They were ready for you to wear on the day that you were born.

14I put you there with a cherub to be your guard. You lived on my holy mountain. You walked among the stones that burned with fire.

15Everything that you did was completely good from the day that you were born. But later, you started to do wicked things.

16As a trader, you bought and sold many things. As a result, you became violent and you did evil things. So I sent you away in shame. I would not allow you to remain on my mountain. The cherub that had been your guard chased you out. You could no longer walk among the stones that burned with fire.

17But because you were so beautiful, you were very proud. You used your wisdom to do bad things, because you loved to have beautiful things. So I threw you down to the ground. I let other kings see what had happened to you.

18As a trader, you did many wrong things to cheat people. Your holy places became unclean. So I caused fire to completely destroy your city. Everyone could see that only ashes remained on the ground.

19All the people of other nations who knew you are very afraid. They have seen the terrible thing that has happened to you. You have come to a complete end and you will never return.” ’
