13 You were in (A)Eden, the garden of God;
(B)Every precious stone was your covering:
The (C)ruby, the topaz and the diamond;
The beryl, the onyx and the jasper;
The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald;
And the gold, the workmanship of your [a](D)settings and [b]sockets,
Was in you.
On the day that you were created
They were prepared.
14 You were the (E)anointed cherub who [c]covers,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy (F)mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the (G)stones of fire.
15 You were (H)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until (I)unrighteousness was found in you.
16 By the (J)abundance of your trade
[d]You were internally (K)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, you [e]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
