Ezekiel 28:12-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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)
