Ezekiel 28:10-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

14. With a cherub I placed you;I put you on the holy mountain of God,where you walked among fiery stones.

15. Blameless were you in your waysfrom the day you were created,Until evil was found in you.

16. Your commerce was full of lawlessness, and you sinned.Therefore I banished you from the mountain of God;the cherub drove you outfrom among the fiery stones.

17. Your heart had grown haughtybecause of your beauty;You corrupted your wisdombecause of your splendor.I cast you to the ground,I made you a spectaclein the sight of kings.

18. Because of the enormity of your guilt,and the perversity of your trade,you defiled your sanctuary.I brought fire out of you;it devoured you;I made you ashes on the groundin the eyes of all who see you.
