Ezekiel 28:14-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁴ You were a cherub;^[a]
    I placed you on the holy mountain of God;
    you walked among the stones of fire.^(A)
15 You were blameless in your ways
    from the day that you were created,
    until iniquity was found in you.^(B)
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.^(C)
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.^(D)
18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
    in the unrighteousness of your trade,
    you profaned your sanctuaries.
So I brought out fire from within you;
    it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
    in the sight of all who saw you.^(E)
19 All who know you among the peoples
    are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
    and shall be no more forever.^(F)
