Ezekiel 28:14-16
English Standard Version
14 You were an anointed (A)guardian cherub.
I placed you;[a] you were on (B)the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
(C)from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of (D)your trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from (E)the mountain of God,
and I destroyed you,[b] (F)O guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.

New Living Translation
14 I ordained and anointed you
as the mighty angelic guardian.[a]
You had access to the holy mountain of God
and walked among the stones of fire.
15 “You were blameless in all you did
from the day you were created
until the day evil was found in you.
16 Your rich commerce led you to violence,
and you sinned.
So I banished you in disgrace
from the mountain of God.
I expelled you, O mighty guardian,
from your place among the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:14-16
King James Version
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.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 You were the anointed cherub that covers with overshadowing [wings], and I set you so. You were upon the holy mountain of God; you walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire [like the paved work of gleaming sapphire stone upon which the God of Israel walked on Mount Sinai].(A)
15 You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until iniquity and guilt were found in you.
16 Through the abundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence, and you sinned; therefore I cast you out as a profane thing from the mountain of God and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire.
