Ezekiel 28:16

A Lament For Tyre's King

¹⁵ “You were blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until unrighteousness was found in you.
¹⁶ “By the abundance of your trade
You were internally filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
¹⁷ “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I put you before kings,
That they may see you.
