Ezekiel 28:11-19

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹² Son of man, raise a lament over the king of Tyre. Say to him that this is what the Lord God says.

You were a seal of perfection, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. ¹³ You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone was covering you: carnelian, diamond, emerald, topaz, onyx, jasper, sapphire, agate, and beryl.^[a] Your mountings and your settings were worked in gold. They were prepared on the day you were created.

¹⁴ You were a cherub, the anointed guardian. I appointed you. You were on the holy mountain of God, and you walked about in the midst of sparkling stones. ¹⁵ Your conduct was blameless from the day you were created until guilt was found in you. ¹⁶ In your widespread trade, you practiced much violence and you sinned. I defiled you by banishing you from the mountain of God. I expelled you, you guardian cherub, from among the sparkling stones.

¹⁷ You became arrogant because of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom together with your splendor. So I hurled you down to the earth and set you in front of kings who gloated over you. ¹⁸ By your many sins during your unscrupulous trade, you defiled your sanctuaries. So I made fire break out from your midst, and it devoured you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. ¹⁹ All those among the people who knew you are appalled at you. You have become horrifying, and you will never exist again, forever.
