Ezekiel 28:12-18

Ezekiel 28:12-18 TPT

“Son of man, mourn for the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘Lord YAHWEH says to you: “ ‘You were once the consummate model of perfection. You were full of great wisdom, and your beauty seemed perfect. You lived in Eden, in the very garden of God. Every precious jewel formed your mantle. You were dressed in splendor with diamonds, carnelian, topaz, chrysolite, beryl, onyx, sapphire, turquoise, and emeralds; each gem engraved in settings of gold. I, YAHWEH, made them for you on the day I created you. I placed you with an anointed guardian cherub. You were on the holy mountain of God where you walked among the fiery stones. Your ways were blameless from the day I created you, until wickedness first appeared in you. Your vast wealth filled you with violence and sin. So, I have cast you down in disgrace from the mountain of God. I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the stones of fire. Your heart became swollen with pride because of your beauty; your thirst for glory corrupted your wisdom. So, I hurled you down to the earth, and displayed you as a warning to other kings. So great was your sin— the injustice of your buying and selling. You defiled your sanctuaries. So, I set a fire inside of you, and it consumed you entirely! I reduced you to ashes on the ground before the eyes of all who saw you.
