New Testament

Ezekiel 28:9-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’in the presence of those who kill you,though you are but a man, and no god,in the hands of those who slay you?

10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.”

11. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me:

12. “Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:“You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, sardius, topaz, and diamond,beryl, onyx, and jasper,sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle;and crafted in gold were your settingsand your engravings. On the day that you were createdthey were prepared.

14. You were an anointed guardian cherub.I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God;in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.

15. You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created,till unrighteousness was found in you.

16. In the abundance of your tradeyou were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,and I destroyed you, O guardian cherub,from the midst of the stones of fire.
