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)
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.^(G)

Because your heart is proud
    and you have said, “I am a god;
I sit in the seat of the gods,
    in the heart of the seas,”
yet you are but a mortal and no god,
    though you compare your mind
    with the mind of a god.^(A)
3 You are indeed wiser than Daniel;^[a]
    no secret is hidden from you;^(B)
4 by your wisdom and your understanding
    you have amassed wealth for yourself
and have gathered gold and silver
    into your treasuries.^(C)
5 By your great wisdom in trade
    you have increased your wealth,
    and your heart has become proud in your wealth.^(D)
6 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you compare your mind
    with the mind of a god,^(E)
