jps - Ezekiel:28:11-19

jps@Ezekiel:28:11 @ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:

jps@Ezekiel:28:12 @ 'Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say unto him: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou seal most accurate, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty,

jps@Ezekiel:28:13 @ thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.

jps@Ezekiel:28:14 @ Thou wast the far-covering cherub; and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire.

jps@Ezekiel:28:15 @ Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

jps@Ezekiel:28:16 @ By the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

jps@Ezekiel:28:17 @ Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may gaze upon thee.

jps@Ezekiel:28:18 @ By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

jps@Ezekiel:28:19 @ All they that know thee among the peoples shall be appalled at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.'
