8. They will kill you and send you to a watery grave.
9. When they come to kill you, will you still claim that you are a god? When you face your murderers, you will be mortal and not at all divine.
10. You will die like a dog at the hand of godless foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have given the command.”
11. The Lord spoke to me again.
12. “Mortal man,” he said, “grieve for the fate that is waiting for the king of Tyre. Tell him what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: you were once an example of perfection. How wise and handsome you were!
13. You lived in Eden, the garden of God, and wore gems of every kind: rubies and diamonds; topaz, beryl, carnelian, and jasper; sapphires, emeralds, and garnets. You had ornaments of gold. They were made for you on the day you were created.
14. I put a terrifying angel there to guard you. You lived on my holy mountain and walked among sparkling gems.
15. Your conduct was perfect from the day you were created until you began to do evil.
16. You were busy buying and selling, and this led you to violence and sin. So I forced you to leave my holy mountain, and the angel who guarded you drove you away from the sparkling gems.
