13 You were in Eden,(A) the garden of God.
Every kind of precious stone covered you:
carnelian, topaz, and diamond,[a]
beryl, onyx, and jasper,
sapphire,[b] turquoise[c] and emerald.[d]
Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold;(B)
they were prepared on the day you were created.
14 You were an anointed guardian cherub,(C)
for[e] I had appointed you.
You were on the holy mountain of God;
you walked among the fiery stones.
15 From the day you were created
you were blameless in your ways
until wickedness was found in you.
