Ezekiel 28:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Son of man, raise a lament over the king of Tyre, and say to him: Thus says the Lord God:
[a] You were a seal of perfection,
full of wisdom, perfect in beauty.(A)
13 In Eden, the garden of God, you lived;
precious stones of every kind were your covering:
Carnelian, topaz, and beryl,
chrysolite, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire, garnet, and emerald.
Their mounts and settings
were wrought in gold,
fashioned for you the day you were created.(B)
14 With a cherub I placed you;
I put you on the holy mountain of God,[b]
where you walked among fiery stones.
