15 You were perfect in your ways
from the day that you were created,
until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 By the abundance of your trade
they filled you within with violence.
So you have sinned.
So I threw you out as a profane thing
from the mountain of God.
I made you vanish, guardian cheruv,
from among the stones of fire.
17 Your heart was exalted because of your beauty.
You corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor.
I threw you down to the earth.[a]
Before kings I set you up as a spectacle.
