11 Then Yahweh gave me another message: 12 “Son of humanity, sing a mourning song for the king of Tsor (Tyre) and tell him that the master Yahweh says this:

You were the model of perfection,

full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 You were in Eden—God’s garden.

Every precious stone covered you:

ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite,

onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl.

Your settings and mountings were made from gold.

They were prepared on the very day that you were created.

14 I placed you on God’s sacred mountain

like the winged creatures that I appointed to guard humanity.

You were among the fiery stones where you walked around.

15 You had integrity in your ways from the day you were created

until injustice was found within you.

16 Through your great trade you were filled with violence, and so you sinned.

Then I threw you out of God’s mountain, like someone who was defiled,

and I destroyed you, guardian winged creature,

and drove you from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart was arrogant due to your beauty.

You ruined your wisdom because of your splendour.

I threw you down to the earth.

I put you in front of kings so they can see you.

18 Because of all your disobedience and your dishonest trade,

you’ve defiled your sacred places,

so I’ve made fire come out from you to consume you.

I’ll turn you into ashes on the earth

in the sight of everyone who looks at you.

19 Everyone who knew you among the people groups

will shudder to look at you now—

they will be horrified, and you won’t exist any longer.’ ”
