Ezekiel 28:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ You thought you were so handsome
    that it made your heart proud.
You thought you were so glorious
    that it spoiled your wisdom.
So I threw you down to the earth.
    I made an example out of you in front of kings.
¹⁸ Your many sins and dishonest trade
    made your holy places impure.
So I made you go up in flames.
    I turned you into nothing but ashes on the ground.
    I let everyone see it.
¹⁹ All the nations that knew you
    are shocked because of what happened to you.
You have come to a horrible end.
    And you will be gone forever.” ’ ”
