^c“Because your heart is proud,

Ezekiel 28:12-18

12 ^m“Son of man, ⁿraise a lamentation over ^othe king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

“You were the signet of perfection, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain}
^qfull of wisdom and ^rperfect in beauty.
13 You were in ^sEden, the garden of God;
^tevery precious stone was your covering,
^usardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, ^{▼▼Or lapis lazuli} ^wemerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain}
^yOn the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed ^zguardian cherub.
I placed you; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain} you were on ^abthe holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
^acfrom the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of ^adyour trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from ^aethe mountain of God,
and I destroyed you, ^{▼▼Or banished you} ^agO guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 ^ahYour heart was proud because of ^aiyour 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 ^ajI brought fire out from your midst;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
^akin the sight of all who saw you.
