Ezekiel 28:12–19

¹²“Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord GOD:

“You were the signet of perfection,^p

full of wisdom

and perfect in beauty.

¹³You were in Eden, the garden of God;

every precious stone was your covering,

carnelian, topaz, and jasper,

chrysolite, beryl, and onyx,

sapphire,^q carbuncle, and emerald;

and wrought in gold were your settings

and your engravings.^r

On the day that you were created

they were prepared.

¹⁴With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you;^s

you were on the holy mountain of God;

in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.

¹⁵You were blameless in your ways

from the day you were created,

till iniquity was found in you.

¹⁶In the abundance of your trade

you were filled with violence, and you sinned;

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

and the guardian cherub drove you out

from the midst of the stones of fire.

¹⁷Your heart was proud because of your 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.

¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities,

in the unrighteousness of your trade

you profaned your sanctuaries;

so I brought forth fire from the midst of you;

it consumed you,

and I turned you to ashes upon the earth

in the sight of all who saw you.

¹⁹All who know you among the peoples

are appalled at you;

you have come to a dreadful end

and shall be no more for ever.”
