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, you [b]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was haughty because of your (C)beauty;
You (D)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I threw you to the ground;
I put you before (E)kings,
That they may see you.
18 By the multitude of your wrongdoings,
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.
19 All who know you among the peoples
Are appalled at you;
You have become [c](H)terrified
And you will cease to be (I)forever.”’”

16 Through your widespread trade
    you were filled with violence,(A)
    and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
    and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(B)
    from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(C)
    on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
    because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
    I made a spectacle of you before kings.(D)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(E) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(F) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.(G)
19 All the nations who knew you
    are appalled(H) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.(I)’”
