Ezekiel 28:4-14 World English Bible (WEB)

4. by your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures;

5. by your great wisdom and by your traffic you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—

6. therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,

7. therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness.

8. They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.

9. Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am God? but you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.

10. You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.

11. Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,

12. Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

13. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. In the day that you were created they were prepared.

14. You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, so that you were on the holy mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
