Ezekiel 28:12-14
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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,[a]
full of wisdom
and perfect in beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, topaz, and jasper,
chrysolite, beryl, and onyx,
sapphire,[b] carbuncle, and emerald;
and wrought in gold were your settings
and your engravings.[c]
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you;[d]
you were on the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
