14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

14 You were an anointed guardian cherub,
    and I placed you on God’s holy mountain;[a]
you walked in the midst of stones of fire.
15     You were blameless in your ways
from the day when you were created,[b]
    until wickedness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of your trading,
    they filled the midst of you with violence, and you sinned;
and I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
    and I expelled you, the guardian[c] cherub,
    from the midst of the stones of fire.
