Ezekiel 28:7-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, The most ruthless of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor.

8. 'They will bring you down to the pit, And you will die the death of those who are slain In the heart of the seas.

9. 'Will you still say, "I am a god," In the presence of your slayer, Though you are a man and not God, In the hands of those who wound you?

10. 'You will die the death of the uncircumcised By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!' declares the Lord God!"'"

11. Again the word of the Lord came to me saying,

12. "Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord God, "You had the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13. "You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared.
