Ezekiel 28:12-16

‘Son of man, sing this funeral song about the king of Tyre. Tell him, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: At one time, you were the example of a good man. You were completely wise and beautiful.

You lived in God's beautiful garden, Eden. You wore valuable jewels on your clothes. The jewels were ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise and beryl. They were fixed to pieces of gold. They were ready for you to wear on the day that you were born.

I put you there with a cherub to be your guard. You lived on my holy mountain. You walked among the stones that burned with fire.

Everything that you did was completely good from the day that you were born. But later, you started to do wicked things.

As a trader, you bought and sold many things. As a result, you became violent and you did evil things. So I sent you away in shame. I would not allow you to remain on my mountain. The cherub that had been your guard chased you out. You could no longer walk among the stones that burned with fire.
