Ezekiel 28:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God: every precious stone was in thy garment, the ruby, the topaz, and the [a]diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, [b]emerald, and the carbuncle and gold: the workmanship of thy timbrels, and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art [c]the anointed Cherub, that covereth, and I have set thee [d]in honor: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked in the midst of the [e]stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast [f]created, till iniquity was found in thee.
