Ezekiel 28:11-22 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

12. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, who sealest up the measure of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty,

13. thou wast in Eden, the garden of God Every precious stone was thy covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the emerald, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambours and of thy pipes was in thee: in the day that thou wast created were they prepared.

14. Thou wast the anointed covering cherub, and I had set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God thou didst walk up and down in the midst of stones of fire.

15. Thou wast perfect in thy ways, from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

16. By the abundance of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane from the mountain of God and have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17. Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18. By the multitude of thine iniquities, by the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries: and I have brought forth a fire out of the midst of thee--it hath consumed thee; and I have brought thee to ashes upon the earth, in the sight of all them that behold thee.

19. All they that know thee among the peoples shall be amazed at thee: thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.

20. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

21. Son of man, set thy face towards Zidon, and prophesy against it,

22. and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be hallowed in her.
