14 Thou art [a]the anointed Cherub, that covereth, and I have set thee [b]in honor: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God: thou hast walked in the midst of the [c]stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast [d]created, till iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise, they have filled the midst of thee with cruelty, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the [e]mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering Cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
