Ezekiel 28:12–19

¹²“Son of man, take up a lamentⁱ concerning the king of Tyre and say to him: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“ ‘You were the seal of perfection,

full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.^j

¹³You were in Eden,^k

the garden of God;^l

every precious stone^m adorned you:

carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,

topaz, onyx and jasper,

lapis lazuli, turquoiseⁿ and beryl.^b

Your settings and mountings^c were made of gold;

on the day you were created they were prepared.^o

¹⁴You were anointed^p as a guardian cherub,^q

for so I ordained you.

You were on the holy mount of God;

you walked among the fiery stones.

¹⁵You were blameless in your ways

from the day you were created

till wickedness was found in you.

¹⁶Through your widespread trade

you were filled with violence,^r

and you sinned.

So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,

and I expelled you, guardian cherub,^s

from among the fiery stones.

¹⁷Your heart became proud^t

on account of your beauty,

and you corrupted your wisdom

because of your splendor.

So I threw you to the earth;

I made a spectacle of you before kings.^u

¹⁸By your many sins and dishonest trade

you have desecrated your sanctuaries.

So I made a fire^v come out from you,

and it consumed you,

and I reduced you to ashes^w on the ground

in the sight of all who were watching.^x

¹⁹All the nations who knew you

are appalled^y at you;

you have come to a horrible end

and will be no more.^z’ ”
