Because you are wise and understanding, you have made yourself rich. You saved gold and silver in your treasuries. Because of your great skill in trading, you have made yourself very wealthy. You have become arrogant because of your wealth.' Therefore the Lord Jehovah says: Because you have made your heart like (consider yourself to be like) the heart of God, I will bring strangers, ruthless nations, upon you. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. They will throw you into a pit. You will die a violent death in the sea. You will no longer say that you are a god when you face those who kill you. You will be a human, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you.' You will die at the hands of foreigners like a godless person.' I have spoken, declares Jehovah. Jehovah continued to speak his word to me: Son of man, sing a funeral song for the ruler of Tyre.

Your settings and your sockets were made of gold when you were created. I appointed an angel to guard you. You were on God's holy mountain. You walked among fiery stones. Your behavior was perfect from the time you were created, until evil was found in you. By the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane from the mountain of God. I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 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. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade you profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you. It has consumed you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the eyes of all who see you. All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you. You have become terrified. You will cease to be forever.'
