They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou didst die the deaths of the wounded in the heart of the seas. Saying, wilt thou say, I am God, before him slaying thee? and thou art man and not God, in the hand of him wounding thee.

Thou the cherub of expansion covering; and I gave thee: thou wert in the holy mountain of God; thou walkedst about in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou shalt be perfected in thy ways from the day of thy being created even till iniquity was found in thee. In the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou wilt sin: and I shall profane thee from the mountain of God, and destroying thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine heart was lifted up with thy beauty, thou didst corrupt thy wisdom on account of thy splendor: I cast thee upon the earth, I gave thee before kings to look upon thee. From the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic, thou didst profane my holy places; and I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall consume thee, and I will give thee for ashes upon the earth before the eyes of all seeing thee. All knowing thee among the peoples were astonished at thee: thou wert terrors; and thou not, even to forever.
