“You were the signet of perfection,[a]
(D)full of wisdom and (E)perfect in beauty.
13 You were in (F)Eden, the garden of God;
(G)every precious stone was your covering,
(H)sardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[b] (I)emerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.[c]
(J)On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed (K)guardian cherub.
I placed you;[d] you were on (L)the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
(M)from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
