rfull of wisdom and sperfect in beauty.
13You were in tEden, the garden of God;
uevery precious stone was your covering,
vsardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,
Or lapis lazuli
xemerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings.
The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain

zOn the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14You were an anointed aaguardian cherub.
I placed you;
The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain
you were on acthe holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15You were blameless in your ways
adfrom the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16In the abundance of aeyour trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from afthe mountain of God,
and I destroyed you,
Or banished you
ahO guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 aiYour heart was proud because of ajyour 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.
18By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so akI brought fire out from your midst;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes on the earth
alin the sight of all who saw you.
19All who know you among the peoples
are appalled at you;
amyou have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.”

and foul their rivers.
