¹⁵ You were blameless in your ways
    from the day that you were created,
    until iniquity was found in you.^(A)

¹⁷ Your 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.^(A)
18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
    in the unrighteousness of your trade,
    you profaned your sanctuaries.
So I brought out fire from within you;
    it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
    in the sight of all who saw you.^(B)

³ You are indeed wiser than Daniel;^[a]
    no secret is hidden from you;^(A)
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
    you have amassed wealth for yourself
and have gathered gold and silver
    into your treasuries.^(B)
5 By your great wisdom in trade
    you have increased your wealth,
    and your heart has become proud in your wealth.^(C)
6 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you compare your mind
    with the mind of a god,^(D)

¹⁶ The crown has fallen from our head;
    woe to us, for we have sinned!
