² Though they dig into Sheol,
    from there shall my hand take them;
though they climb up to heaven,
    from there I will bring them down.^(A)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,
    from there I will search out and take them;
and though they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.^(B)
4 And though they go into captivity in front of their enemies,
    there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
and I will fix my eyes on them
    for harm and not for good.^(C)

“I called to the Lord out of my distress,
    and he answered me;
out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
    and you heard my voice.

²¹ “For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals,
    and he sees all their steps.^(A)

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)
