Moreover the word of the
12
Mortal, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord
You were the signet of perfection, 1
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
13
You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, 2 turquoise, and emerald;
and worked in gold were your settings
and your engravings. 3
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14
With an anointed cherub as guardian I placed you; 4
you were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the stones of fire.
15
You were blameless in your ways
from the day that you were created,
until iniquity was found in you.
16
In the abundance of your trade
you were filled with violence, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
and the guardian cherub drove you out
from among the stones of fire.
17
Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor.
I cast you to the ground;
I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.
18
By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade,
you profaned your sanctuaries.
So I brought out fire from within you;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
in the sight of all who saw you.
19
All who know you among the peoples
are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.
