Ezekiel 28:17

A Lament For Tyre's King

¹⁶ By the abundance of fly traffic, they fled thy midst with violence And thou didst sin,- So I cast thee as profane a out of the mountain of God. And destroyed thee O covering cherub, from amid the stones of fire: ¹⁷ Lofty, was thy heart in thy beauty, Thou didst corrupt thy wisdom, because of thy splendour, - Upon the earth, did I cast thee. Before kings, did I set thee That they might look at thee: ¹⁸ Owing to the abounding of thine iniquities. In the perversity of thy traffic, Thou didst profane thy sanctuaries, Therefore brought I forth fire out of thy midst. the same devoured thee, And I turned thee to ashes on the ground, Before the eyes of all beholding thee:
