Ezekiel 28:11-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

You were the seal^[a] of perfection,^[b]
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.^(B)
13 You were in Eden,^(C) the garden of God.
Every kind of precious stone covered you:
carnelian, topaz, and diamond,^[c]
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,^[d] turquoise^[e] and emerald.^[f]
Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold;^(D)
they were prepared on the day you were created.
¹⁴ You were an anointed guardian cherub,^(E)
for^[g] I had appointed you.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
¹⁵ From the day you were created
you were blameless in your ways
until wickedness was found in you.
¹⁶ Through the abundance of your trade,
you were filled with violence, and you sinned.
So I expelled you in disgrace
from the mountain of God,
and banished you, guardian cherub,^[h]
from among the fiery stones.
¹⁷ Your heart became proud because of your beauty;^(F)
For the sake of your splendor
you corrupted your wisdom.
So I threw you down to the earth;
I made you a spectacle before kings.
¹⁸ You profaned your sanctuaries
by the magnitude of your iniquities
in your dishonest trade.
So I made fire come from within you,
and it consumed you.^(G)
I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of everyone watching you.
¹⁹ All those who know you among the nations
are appalled at you.
You have become an object of horror
and will never exist again.”^(H)
