Read in context

Ezekiel 28:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways— until wickedness was found in you.

16 By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

17 Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I made you a spectacle before kings.

18 By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

19 All the nations who know you are appalled over you. You have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”
