7. I am about to bring foreigners against you, the most terrifying of nations. They will draw their swords against the grandeur made by your wisdom,and they will defile your splendor.
8. They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die violently in the heart of the seas.
9. Will you still say, “I am a god,” before the one who kills you – though you are a man and not a god – when you are in the power of those who wound you?
10. You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners;for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”
11. The word of the Lord came to me:
12. “Son of man, sing a lament for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: “‘You were the sealer 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, topaz, and emerald,the chrysolite, onyx, and jasper,the sapphire, turquoise, and beryl; your settings and mounts were made of gold.On the day you were created they were prepared.
14. I placed you there with an anointed guardian cherub;you were on the holy mountain of God;you walked about amidst fiery stones.
15. You were blameless in your behavior from the day you were created,until sin was discovered in you.
16. In the abundance of your trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned; so I defiled you and banished you from the mountain of God – the guardian cherub expelled you from the midst of the stones of fire.
