“You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:
The ruby, the topaz, and the diamond;

Was in you.
They were prepared
On the day that you were created.

And behind them a flame burns;
Before them the land is like the Garden of Eden,
But behind them a desolate wilderness;
And nothing at all escapes them.
