Ezekiel 28:12-19
12“Son of man, 1take up a song of mourning over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “You 2had the seal of 3perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.13You were in 4Eden, the garden of God; 5Every precious stone was your covering: The 6ruby, 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 78settings and 9sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.14You were the 10anointed cherub who 11covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy 12mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the 13stones of fire.15You were 14blameless in your ways From the day you were created Until 15unrighteousness was found in you.16By the 16abundance of your trade 17You were internally 18filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, you 19covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire.17Your heart was haughty because of your 20beauty; You 21corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I threw you to the ground; I put you before 22kings, That they may see you.18By the multitude of your wrongdoings, In the unrighteousness of your trade You profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought 23fire from the midst of you; It has consumed you, And I have turned you to 24ashes 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 2526terrified And you will cease to be 27forever.”’”
