2 How the Lord in his anger
    has set the daughter of Zion ^(A)under a cloud!
^(B)He has cast down from heaven to earth
    the splendor of Israel;
he has not remembered ^(C)his footstool
    in the day of his anger.

⁷ “Let us go to his dwelling place;
    let us ^(A)worship at his ^(B)footstool!”

^2 (A)a day of darkness and gloom,
    ^(B)a day of clouds and thick darkness!
Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains
    ^(C)a great and powerful people;
^(D)their like has never been before,
    nor will be again after them
    through the years of all generations.

¹⁸ At ^(A)Tehaphnehes ^(B)the day shall be dark,
    when I break there the yoke bars of Egypt,
and ^(C)her proud might shall come to an end in her;
    she shall be covered by a cloud,
    and her daughters shall go into captivity.

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.
