4. By your wisdom and by understanding you have made wealth for yourself and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries.
5. In your great skill, by your trade, you have increased your wealth, so your heart is exalted by your wealth.’”
6. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because you have set up your heart like the heart of God,
7. behold, I will bring strangers against you, the ruthless of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your splendor.
8. They will bring you down to the Pit. You will die the death of those slain in the heart of the seas.
9. Will you still say, ‘I am a god’ before the one who slays you? Yet you are man, and not a god, in the hand of those who pierce you.
10. You will die the deaths of the uncircumcised at the hand of strangers. For I have spoken.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
11. The word of Adonai came to me saying:
12. “Son of man, lift up a lament for the king of Tyre. Say to him, thus says Adonai Elohim: ‘You were 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 —ruby, topaz and diamond, beryl, onyx and jasper, sapphire, turquoise and emerald—your settings and your sockets a workmanship of gold —in the day you were created they were prepared.
14. You were an anointed guardian cheruv. I placed you on the holy mountain of God. You walked among 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 trade they filled you within with violence. So you have sinned. So I threw you out as a profane thing from the mountain of God. I made you vanish, guardian cheruv, from among the stones of fire.
