“The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

Set with beryl;

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

And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and your sockets,
Was in you.
They were prepared
On the day that you were created.
