Ezekiel 28:1-19

28¹ Then this message came to me from the Lord : ² "Son of man, give the prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign Lord : "In your great pride you claim, 'I am a god! I sit on a divine throne in the heart of the sea.' But you are only a man and not a god, though you boast that you are a god. ³ You regard yourself as wiser than Daniel and think no secret is hidden from you. ⁴ With your wisdom and understanding you have amassed great wealth- gold and silver for your treasuries. ⁵ Yes, your wisdom has made you very rich, and your riches have made you very proud. ⁶ "Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you think you are as wise as a god, ⁷ I will now bring against you a foreign army, the terror of the nations. They will draw their swords against your marvelous wisdom and defile your splendor! ⁸ They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die in the heart of the sea, pierced with many wounds. ⁹ Will you then boast, 'I am a god!' to those who kill you? To them you will be no god but merely a man! ¹⁰ You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!"

¹¹ Then this further message came to me from the Lord : ¹² "Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign Lord : "You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty. ¹³ You were in Eden, the garden of God. Your clothing was adorned with every precious stone - red carnelian, pale-green peridot, white moonstone, blue-green beryl, onyx, green jasper, blue lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald- all beautifully crafted for you and set in the finest gold. They were given to you on the day you were created. ¹⁴ I ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire. ¹⁵ "You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you. ¹⁶ Your rich commerce led you to violence, and you sinned. So I banished you in disgrace from the mountain of God. I expelled you, O mighty guardian, from your place among the stones of fire. ¹⁷ Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty. Your wisdom was corrupted by your love of splendor. So I threw you to the ground and exposed you to the curious gaze of kings. ¹⁸ You defiled your sanctuaries with your many sins and your dishonest trade. So I brought fire out from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. ¹⁹ All who knew you are appalled at your fate. You have come to a terrible end, and you will exist no more."
