By thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou have gotten thee riches, and have gotten gold and silver into thy treasures. By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic thou have increased thy riches. And thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches. Therefore thus says lord LORD: Because thou have set thy heart as the heart of God, therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations, and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas. Will thou yet say before him who slays thee, I am God? But thou are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds thee. Thou shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken it, says lord LORD.

The workmanship of t Thou were the anointed cherub who covers. And I set thee, [so that] thou were upon the holy mountain of God. Thou have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou were perfect in thy ways from the day that thou were created, till unrighteousness was found in thee. By the abundance of thy commerce they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou have sinned.

Thou have corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness. I have cast thee to the ground. I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee. By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy commerce, thou have profaned thy sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought forth a fire from the midst of thee. It has devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes u All those who know thee among the peoples shall be astonished at thee. Thou have become a horror, and thou shall nevermore have any being.
