12 “Son of man,[a] raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, ‘thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“You were a perfect model of[b] an example,
    full of wisdom and perfect of beauty.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God,
    and every precious stone was your adornment:
carnelian, topaz and moonstone,[c]
    turquoise, onyx and jasper,
sapphire,[d] malachite and emerald.
    And gold was the craftsmanship of your settings
and your mountings in you;
    on the day when you were created they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub,
    and I placed you on God’s holy mountain;[e]
you walked in the midst of stones of fire.
