4. by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches,and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;
5. by your great wisdomand by your trading you have increased your riches,and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6. “‘therefore thus says the Lord GOD:“Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you,the terrible of the nations.They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom.They will defile your brightness.
8. They will bring you down to the pit.You will die the death of those who are slainin the heart of the seas.
9. Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’?But you are man, and not God,in the hand of him who wounds you.
10. You will die the death of the uncircumcisedby the hand of strangers;for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
11. Moreover the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
12. “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:“You were the seal of full measure,full of wisdom,and perfect in beauty.
13. You were in Eden,the garden of God.Every precious stone adorned you:ruby, topaz, emerald,chrysolite, onyx, jasper,sapphire, turquoise, and beryl.Gold work of tambourinesand of pipes was in you.They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14. You were the anointed cherub who covers.Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God.You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15. You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created,until unrighteousness was found in you.
16. By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence,and you have sinned.Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain.I have destroyed you, covering cherub,from the middle of the stones of fire.
17. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty.You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.I have cast you to the ground.I have laid you before kings,that they may see you.
