16 Through the abundance of your trade,

you were filled with violence, and you sinned.

So I expelled you in disgrace

from the mountain of God,

and banished you, guardian cherub,F

from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart became proud because of your beauty;h

For the sake of your splendor

you corrupted your wisdom.

So I threw you down to the ground;G

I made you a spectacle before kings.

18 You profaned your sanctuaries

by the magnitude of your iniquities

in your dishonest trade.

So I made fire come from within you,

and it consumed you.i

I reduced you to ashes on the ground

in the sight of everyone watching you.

19 All those who know you among the peoples

are appalled at you.

You have become an object of horror

and will never exist again.’ ”j
