15 You were (A)blameless in your ways
From the day you were created
Until (B)unrighteousness was found in you.
16 By the (C)abundance of your trade
[a]You were internally (D)filled with violence,
And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane
From the mountain of God.
And I have destroyed you, you [b]covering cherub,
From the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was haughty because of your (E)beauty;
You (F)corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.
I threw you to the ground;
I put you before (G)kings,
That they may see you.
