Ezekiel 28:12-19
12“Son of man, 1take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “You 2had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.13You were in 3Eden, the garden of God; 4Every precious stone was your covering: The 5ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your 67settings and 8sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.14You were the 9anointed cherub who 10covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy 11mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the 12stones of fire.15You were 13blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until 14unrighteousness was found in you.16By the 15abundance of your trade 16You were internally 17filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O 18covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.17Your heart was lifted up because of your 19beauty; You 20corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before 21kings, That they may see you.18By the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought 22fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to 23ashes on the earth In the eyes of all who see you.19All who know you among the peoples Are appalled at you; You have become 2425terrified And you will cease to be 26forever.”’”
