Ezekiel 28:6-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. Therefore thus says the Lord God:Because you pretend you are a god at heart,

7. Therefore, I will bring against youstrangers, the most bloodthirsty of nations.They shall draw their swordsagainst your splendid wisdom,and violate your radiance.

8. They shall thrust you down into the pit:you shall die a violent deathin the heart of the sea.

9. Then, face to face with your killers,will you still say, “I am a god”?No, you are a man, not a god,handed over to those who slay you.

10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcisedhanded over to strangers,for I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God.

11. The word of the Lord came to me:

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

13. In Eden, the garden of God, you lived;precious stones of every kind were your covering:Carnelian, topaz, and beryl,chrysolite, onyx, and jasper,sapphire, garnet, and emerald.Their mounts and settingswere wrought in gold,fashioned for you the day you were created.
