Lament Concerning The King Of Tyre

Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of Tyre and say to him:

"This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

You were the model of perfection,

Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

You were in Eden, the garden of God;

Every precious stone adorned you;

Ruby topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper,

Sapphire, turquoise and beryl.

Your settings and mountings were made of gold;

On the day you were created they were prepared.

You were anointed as a guardian cherub,

For so I ordained you.

You were on the holy mount of God;

You walked among the fiery stones."
