13 You were in Eden,
the garden of God.
Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone[a]—
red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone,
blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper,
blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald—
all beautifully crafted for you
and set in the finest gold.
They were given to you
on the day you were created.
14 I ordained and anointed you
as the mighty angelic guardian.[b]
You had access to the holy mountain of God
and walked among the stones of fire.
