katapi HOME Ezekiel 28:11-19 - Fall of the king of Tyre.  Eze.28.11-19

28 11 Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me: 28 12 "Son of man, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says Yahweh GOD:

"You were the signet of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
28 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God;
every precious stone was your covering,
carnelian, topaz, and jasper,
chrysolite, beryl, and onyx,
sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald;
and wrought in gold were your settings
and your engravings.
On the day that you were created
they were prepared.
28 14 With an anointed guardian cherub I placed you;
you were on the holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
28 15 You were blameless in your ways
from the day you were created,
till iniquity was found in you.
28 16 In the abundance of your trade
you were filled with violence,
and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from the mountain of God,
and the guardian cherub drove you out
from the midst of the stones of fire.
28 17 Your heart was proud because of your beauty;
you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendour.
I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings,
to feast their eyes on you.
28 18 By the multitude of your iniquities,
in the unrighteousness of your trade
you profaned your sanctuaries;
so I brought forth fire from the midst of you;
it consumed you,
and I turned you to ashes upon the earth
in the sight of all who saw you.
28 19 All who know you among the peoples
are appalled at you;
you have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more for ever."
