12 Mortal, 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.(A)
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
    every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,
    beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[b] turquoise, and emerald;
    and worked in gold were your settings
    and your engravings.[c]
On the day that you were created
    they were prepared.(B)
14 You were a cherub;[d]
    I placed you on the holy mountain of God;
    you walked among the stones of fire.(C)
15 You were blameless in your ways
    from the day that you were created,
    until iniquity was found in you.(D)
16 In 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 I drove you out, O guardian cherub,
    from among the stones of fire.(E)
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.(F)

and say to Tyre, which sits at the entrance to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands: Thus says the Lord God:

O Tyre, you have said,

Your borders are in the heart of the seas;
    your builders made perfect your beauty.(B)

Sheol beneath is stirred up
    to meet you when you come;
it rouses the shades to greet you,
    all who were leaders of the earth;
it raises from their thrones
    all who were kings of the nations.(A)
10 All of them will speak
    and say to you:
“You, too, have become as weak as we!
    You have become like us!”
11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,
    and the sound of your harps;
maggots are the bed beneath you,
    and worms are your covering.(B)

12 How you are fallen from heaven,
    O Morning Star, son of Dawn!
How you are cut down to the ground,
    you who laid the nations low!(C)
13 You said to yourself,
    “I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne
    above the stars of God;
I will sit on the mount of assembly
    on the heights of Zaphon;[a](D)
14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds;
    I will make myself like the Most High.”(E)
15 But you are brought down to Sheol,
    to the depths of the Pit.(F)
