12 “Son of man, lament(A) for the king of Tyre and say to him: This is what the Lord God says:
You were the seal[a] of perfection,[b]
full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.(B)
13 You were in Eden,(C) the garden of God.
Every kind of precious stone covered you:
carnelian, topaz, and diamond,[c]
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[d] turquoise[e] and emerald.[f]
Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold;(D)
they were prepared on the day you were created.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub,(E)
for[g] I had appointed you.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
