Ezekiel 28:12–19

¹²“Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says:

‘You were the seal of perfection,

full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

¹³You were in Eden,

the garden of God.

Every kind of precious stone adorned you:^a

ruby, topaz, and diamond,

beryl, onyx, and jasper,

sapphire,^b turquoise, and emerald.

Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold,

prepared on the day of your creation.

¹⁴You were anointed as a guardian cherub,

for I had ordained you.

You were on the holy mountain of God;

you walked among the fiery stones.

¹⁵From the day you were created

you were blameless in your ways—

until wickedness was found in you.

¹⁶By the vastness of your trade,

you were filled with violence, and you sinned.

So I drove you in disgrace

from the mountain of God,

and I banished you, O guardian cherub,

from among the fiery stones.

¹⁷Your heart grew proud of your beauty;

you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor;

so I cast you to the earth;

I made you a spectacle before kings.

¹⁸By the multitude of your iniquities

and the dishonesty of your trading

you have profaned your sanctuaries.

So I made fire come from within you,

and it consumed you.

I reduced you to ashes on the ground

in the eyes of all who saw you.

¹⁹All the nations who know you

are appalled over you.

You have come to a horrible end

and will be no more.’”
