Lamentation Over the King of Tyre

11

Moreover the LORD’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 GOD: You seal up the sum, 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 midst of the stones of fire.

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 traffic they filled your midst with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17

Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: 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 traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought out a fire from your midst; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.

19

All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
