¹¹ Then this further message came to me from the Lord:

¹² “Son of dust, weep for the king of Tyre.^[a] Tell him, ‘The Lord God says: You were the perfection of wisdom and beauty. ¹³ You were in Eden, the garden of God; your clothing was bejeweled with every precious stone—ruby, topaz, diamond, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald—all in beautiful settings of finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created. ¹⁴ I appointed you to be the anointed Guardian Angel. You had access to the holy mountain of God. You walked among the stones of fire.^[b]

¹⁵ “‘You were perfect in all you did from the day you were created until that time when wrong was found in you. ¹⁶ Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil, and you sinned. Therefore, I cast you out of the mountain of God like a common sinner. I destroyed you, O Guardian Angel, from the midst of the stones of fire.^{[c] 17} Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. Therefore, I have cast you down to the ground and exposed you helpless before the curious gaze of kings. ¹⁸ You defiled your holiness with lust for gain;^[d] therefore, I brought forth fire from your own actions and let it burn you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those watching you. ¹⁹ All who know you are appalled at your fate; you are an example of horror; you are destroyed forever.’”
