Ezekiel 28:1-19

28¹ The word of the Lord came to me: ² Mortal, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord God: Because your heart is proud and you have said, "I am a god; I sit in the seat of the gods, in the heart of the seas," yet you are but a mortal, and no god, though you compare your mind with the mind of a god. ³ You are indeed wiser than Daniel; no secret is hidden from you; ⁴ by your wisdom and your understanding you have amassed wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries. ⁵ By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth. ⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you compare your mind with the mind of a god, ⁷ therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrible of the nations; they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor. ⁸ They shall thrust you down to the Pit, and you shall die a violent death in the heart of the seas. ⁹ Will you still say, "I am a god," in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a mortal, and no god, in the hands of those who wound you? ¹⁰ You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, says the Lord God.

¹¹ Moreover the word of the Lord came to me: ¹² Mortal, raise a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. ¹³ You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, carnelian, chrysolite, and moonstone, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; and worked in gold were your settings and your engravings. On the day that you were created they were prepared. ¹⁴ With an anointed cherub as guardian I placed you; you were on the holy mountain of God; you walked among the stones of fire. ¹⁵ You were blameless in your ways from the day that you were created, until iniquity was found in you. 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 among the stones of fire. ¹⁷ Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. ¹⁸ By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you profaned your sanctuaries. So I brought out fire from within you; it consumed you, and I turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all who saw you. ¹⁹ All who know you among the peoples are appalled at you; you have come to a dreadful end and shall be no more forever.
