Ezekiel 28:14-16

A Lament over the King of Tyre

14 You were an anointed j guardian cherub.
I placed you; 1 you were on k the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
l from the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of m your trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from k the mountain of God,
and I destroyed you, 2 j O guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
