Ezekiel 28:15

A Lament For Tyre's King

¹⁴
“You were the anointed cherub who covers and protects,
And I placed you there.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked in the midst of the stones of fire [sparkling jewels].
¹⁵ 
“You were blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until unrighteousness and evil were found in you.
¹⁶
“Through the abundance of your commerce
You were internally filled with lawlessness and violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you out as a profane and unholy thing
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
