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."
