Ezekiel 28:13-17
New International Version
13 You were in Eden,(A)
the garden of God;(B)
every precious stone(C) adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
lapis lazuli, turquoise(D) and beryl.[a]
Your settings and mountings[b] were made of gold;
on the day you were created they were prepared.(E)
14 You were anointed(F) as a guardian cherub,(G)
for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created
till wickedness was found in you.
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(H)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(I)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(J)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(K)
