Ezekiel 28:11-19 — Legacy Standard Bible

Lament over the King of Tyre

¹¹Again the word of Yahweh came to me saying, ¹²“Son of man, ^atake up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, ‘Thus says Lord Yahweh, “You ¹had the seal of perfection,Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

¹³“You were in ^aEden, the garden of God;^bEvery precious stone was your covering:The ^cruby, the topaz, and the diamond;The beryl, the onyx, and the jasper;The ¹lapis lazuli, the turquoise, and the emerald;And the gold, the workmanship of your ²^,^dsettings and ³sockets,Was in you.On the day that you were createdThey were prepared.¹⁴“You were the ^aanointed cherub who ¹covers,And I placed you there.You were on the holy ^bmountain of God;You walked in the midst of the ^cstones of fire.¹⁵“You were ^ablameless in your waysFrom the day you were createdUntil ^bunrighteousness was found in you.¹⁶“By the ^aabundance of your trade¹You were internally ^bfilled with violence,And you sinned;Therefore I have cast you as profaneFrom the mountain of God.And I have destroyed you, O ²covering cherub,From the midst of the stones of fire.¹⁷“Your heart was lofty because of your ^abeauty;You ^bcorrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.I cast you to the ground;I put you before ^ckings,That they may see you.¹⁸“By the abundance of your iniquities,In the unrighteousness of your tradeYou profaned your sanctuaries.Therefore I have brought out ^afire from the midst of you;It has consumed you,And I have turned you to ^bashes on the earthIn the eyes of all who see you.¹⁹“All who know you among the peoplesAre appalled at you;You have become ¹^,^aterrified,And you will cease to be ^bforever.”’”
