Ezekiel 28:8-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. They will thrust you down to the pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

9. Will you indeed still say “I am a god!” before the face of your killers? And in fact you are a human and not a god in the hand of those who pierce you.

10. You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers, for I myself have spoken!” declares the Lord Yahweh.

11. And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

12. “Son of man, raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You were a perfect model of an example, full of wisdom and perfect of beauty.

13. You were in Eden, the garden of God, and every precious stone was your adornment: carnelian, topaz and moonstone, turquoise, onyx and jasper, sapphire, malachite and emerald. And gold was the craftsmanship of your settings and your mountings in you; on the day when you were created they were prepared.

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