Ezekiel 28:16-18
Easy-to-Read Version
16 Your business brought you many riches.
But they also put cruelty inside you, and you sinned.
So I treated you like something unclean
and threw you off the mountain of God.
You were one of the chosen Cherubs
who spread your wings over my throne.
But I forced you to leave the jewels
that sparkled like fire.
17 Your beauty made you proud.
Your glory ruined your wisdom.
So I threw you down to the ground,
and now other kings stare at you.
18 You did many wrong things.
You were a very crooked merchant.
In this way you made the holy places unclean.
So I brought fire from inside you.
It burned you!
You burned to ashes on the ground.
Now everyone can see your shame.

Ezekiel 28:16-18
New International Version
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(A)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(B)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(C)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(D)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(E) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(F) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(G)
