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 commerce, your insides were filled with violence,and you have sinned.Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain.I have destroyed you, covering cherub,from the middle of the stones of fire.
17. Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty.You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour.I have cast you to the ground.I have laid you before kings,that they may see you.
18. By the multitude of your iniquities,in the unrighteousness of your commerce,you have profaned your sanctuaries.Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you.It has devoured you.I have turned you to ashes on the earthin the sight of all those who see you.
19. All those who know you amongst the peoples will be astonished at you.You have become a terror,and you will exist no more.”’”
20. the Lord’s word came to me, saying,
