Ezekiel 28:12–17

^12z“Son of man, ^araise a lamentation over ^bthe king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

“You were the signet of perfection,¹

^cfull of wisdom and ^dperfect in beauty.

¹³You were in ^eEden, the garden of God;

^fevery precious stone was your covering,

^gsardius, topaz, and diamond,

beryl, onyx, and jasper,

sapphire,^{2 f}emerald, and carbuncle;

and crafted in gold were your settings

and your engravings.³

ⁱOn the day that you were created

they were prepared.

¹⁴You were an anointed ^jguardian cherub.

I placed you;⁴ you were on ^kthe holy mountain of God;

in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.

¹⁵You were blameless in your ways

^lfrom the day you were created,

till unrighteousness was found in you.

¹⁶In the abundance of ^myour trade

you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;

so I cast you as a profane thing from ^kthe mountain of God,

and I destroyed you,^{5 j}O guardian cherub,

from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁷ⁿYour heart was proud because of ^oyour beauty;

you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.

I cast you to the ground;

I exposed you before kings,

to feast their eyes on you.
