Ezekiel 28:12–19

¹²“Son of man, ^mtake up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord God:

ⁿ“You were the seal of perfection,

Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

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

Every precious stone was your covering:

The sardius, topaz, and diamond,

Beryl, onyx, and jasper,

Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.

The workmanship of ^pyour timbrels and pipes

Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

¹⁴“You were the anointed ^qcherub who covers;

I established you;

You were on ^rthe holy mountain of God;

You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

¹⁵You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,

Till ^siniquity was found in you.

¹⁶“By the abundance of your trading

You became filled with violence within,

And you sinned;

Therefore I cast you as a profane thing

Out of the mountain of God;

And I destroyed you, ^tO covering cherub,

From the midst of the fiery stones.

¹⁷“Your ^uheart was ²lifted up because of your beauty;

You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;

I cast you to the ground,

I laid you before kings,

That they might gaze at you.

¹⁸“You defiled your sanctuaries

By the multitude of your iniquities,

By the iniquity of your trading;

Therefore I brought fire from your midst;

It devoured you,

And I turned you to ashes upon the earth

In the sight of all who saw you.

¹⁹All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;

^vYou have become a horror,

And shall be no ^wmore forever.” ’ ”
