Ezekiel 28:11-19 - A Lament For Tyre's King

¹¹ Another message came to me from the LORD, and this is what it said: ¹² "Son of Man, start singing this lamentation for the king of Tyre. Tell him, "This is what the Lord GOD says: "You served as my model, my example of complete wisdom and perfect beauty. ¹³ You used to be in Eden God's paradise! You wore precious stones for clothing: ruby, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and carbuncle. Your settings were crafted in gold, along with your engravings. On the day of your creation they had been prepared! ¹⁴ "You were the anointed cherub; having been set in place on the holy mountain of God, you walked in the midst of fiery stones. ¹⁵ You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created until wickedness was discovered in you. ¹⁶ Since your vast business dealings filled you with violent intent from top to bottom, you sinned, so I cast you away as defiled from the mountain of God. I destroyed you, you guardian cherub, from the midst of the fiery stones. ¹⁷ Your heart grew arrogant because of your beauty; you annihilated your own wisdom because of your splendor. Then I threw you to the ground in the presence of kings, giving them a good look at you! ¹⁸ By all of your iniquity and unrighteous businesses you defiled your sanctuaries, so I'm going to bring out fire from within you and burn you to ashes on the earth before the whole watching world! ¹⁹ Everyone who knows you throughout all the nations will be appalled at your calamity and you will no longer exist forever."'"
