“‘In the pride of your heart
    you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne^(B) of a god
    in the heart of the seas.”^(C)
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
    though you think you are as wise as a god.^(D)

¹⁶ Through your widespread trade
    you were filled with violence,^(A)
    and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
    and I expelled you, guardian cherub,^(B)
    from among the fiery stones.
¹⁷ Your heart became proud^(C)
    on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
    because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
    I made a spectacle of you before kings.^(D)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
    you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire^(E) come out from you,
    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes^(F) on the ground
    in the sight of all who were watching.^(G)
