Ezekiel 28:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the King of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou sealest up the sum, and art full of [a]wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God: every precious stone was in thy garment, the ruby, the topaz, and the [b]diamond, the chrysolite, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, [c]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 [d]the anointed Cherub, that covereth, and I have set thee [e]in honor: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked in the midst of the [f]stones of fire.

“‘You were the seal of perfection,
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.(B)
13 You were in Eden,(C)
the garden of God;(D)
every precious stone(E) adorned you:
carnelian, chrysolite and emerald,
topaz, onyx and jasper,
