Ezekiel 28:6-19

6ThereforeH3651 thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BecauseH3282 you have 1madeH5414 your heartH3824 Like the heartH3820 of GodH430,7ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I am going to bringH935 2strangersH2114 againstH5921 you, The 3mostH6184 ruthlessH6184 of the nationsH1471. And they will drawH7385 their swordsH2719 AgainstH5921 the beautyH3308 of your wisdomH2451 And profaneH2490 your splendorH3314.8They will bringH3381 you downH3381 to the pitH7845, And you will dieH4191 the 4deathH4463 of those who are killedH2491 In the heartH3820 of the seasH3220.9Will you stillH559 sayH559, “I am a godH430,” In the presenceH6440 of one who killsH2026 you, Though you are a mortalH120 and not GodH410, In the handsH3027 of those who woundH2490 you?10You will dieH4191 the deathH4194 of the 5uncircumcisedH6189 By the handH3027 of strangersH2114, For I have spokenH1696!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068!”’”

11Again the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559, 12“SonH1121 of manH120, 6takeH5375 upH5375 a songH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015 overH5921 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 and sayH559 to him, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: “You 7had the sealH2856 of 8perfectionH8508, FullH4392 of wisdomH2451 and perfectH3632 in beautyH3308.13You were in 9EdenH5731, the gardenH1588 of GodH430; 10EveryH3605 preciousH3368 stoneH68 was your coveringH4540: The 11rubyH124, the topazH6357 and the diamondH3095; The berylH8658, the onyxH7718 and the jasperH3471; The lapisH5601 lazuliH5601, the turquoiseH5306 and the emeraldH1304; And the goldH2091, the workmanshipH4399 of your 1213settingsH8596 and 14socketsH5345, Was in you. On the dayH3117 that you were createdH1254 They were preparedH3559.14You were the 15anointedH4473 cherubH3742 who 16coversH5526, And I placedH5414 you there. You were on the holyH6944 17mountainH2022 of GodH430; You walkedH1980 in the midstH8432 of the 18stonesH68 of fireH784.15You were 19blamelessH8549 in your waysH1870 From the dayH3117 you were createdH1254 UntilH5704 20unrighteousnessH5767 was foundH4672 in you.16By the 21abundanceH7230 of your tradeH7404 22You were internallyH8432 23filledH4390 with violenceH2555, And you sinnedH2398; Therefore I have castH2490 you asH2490 profaneH2490 From the mountainH2022 of GodH430. And I have destroyedH6 you, you 24coveringH5526 cherubH3742, From the midstH8432 of the stonesH68 of fireH784.17Your heartH3820 wasH1361 haughtyH1361 because of your 25beautyH3308; You 26corruptedH7843 your wisdomH2451 byH5921 reasonH5921 ofH5921 your splendorH3314. I threwH7993 you to the groundH776; I putH5414 you beforeH6440 27kingsH4428, That they may seeH7200 you.18By the multitudeH7230 of your wrongdoingsH5771, In the unrighteousnessH5766 of your tradeH7404 You profanedH2490 your sanctuariesH4720. Therefore I have broughtH3318 28fireH784 from the midstH8432 of you; It has consumedH398 you, And I have turnedH5414 you to 29ashesH665 on the earthH776 In the eyesH5869 of allH3605 who seeH7200 you.19AllH3605 who knowH3045 you among the peoplesH5971 AreH8074 appalledH8074 at you; You have becomeH1961 3031terrifiedH1091 And you will ceaseH369 to be 32foreverH5704H5769.”’”
