Ezekiel 28:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 “By the (A)abundance of your trade
[a]You were internally (B)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O [b]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
17 “Your heart was lifted up because of your (C)beauty;
You (D)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I put you before (E)kings,
That they may see you.
18 “By the multitude of your iniquities,
In the unrighteousness of your trade
You profaned your sanctuaries.
Therefore I have brought (F)fire from the midst of you;
It has consumed you,
And I have turned you to (G)ashes on the earth
In the eyes of all who see you.
