Ezekiel 28:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ You traded with many nations.
    You harmed people everywhere.
    And you sinned.
So I sent you away from my mountain in shame.
    Guardian angel, I drove you away
    from among the gleaming jewels.
¹⁷ You thought you were so handsome
    that it made your heart proud.
You thought you were so glorious
    that it spoiled your wisdom.
So I threw you down to the earth.
    I made an example out of you in front of kings.
¹⁸ Your many sins and dishonest trade
    made your holy places impure.
So I made you go up in flames.
    I turned you into nothing but ashes on the ground.
    I let everyone see it.
