A Lament over the King of Tyre

11 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me: 12 ^a“Son of man, ^braise a lamentation over ^cthe king of Tyre, and say to him, Thus says the Lord God:

“You were the signet of perfection, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain}
^efull of wisdom and ^fperfect in beauty.
13 You were in ^gEden, the garden of God;
^hevery precious stone was your covering,
ⁱsardius, topaz, and diamond,
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, ^{▼▼Or lapis lazuli} ^kemerald, and carbuncle;
and crafted in gold were your settings
and your engravings. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain}
^mOn the day that you were created
they were prepared.
14 You were an anointed ⁿguardian cherub.
I placed you; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain} you were on ^pthe holy mountain of God;
in the midst of the stones of fire you walked.
15 You were blameless in your ways
^qfrom the day you were created,
till unrighteousness was found in you.
16 In the abundance of ^ryour trade
you were filled with violence in your midst, and you sinned;
so I cast you as a profane thing from ^sthe mountain of God,
and I destroyed you, ^{▼▼Or banished you} ^uO guardian cherub,
from the midst of the stones of fire.
