Ezekiel 28:16-18
Living Bible
16 Your great wealth filled you with internal turmoil, and you sinned. Therefore, I cast you out of the mountain of God like a common sinner. I destroyed you, O Guardian Angel, from the midst of the stones of fire.[a] 17 Your heart was filled with pride because of all your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. Therefore, I have cast you down to the ground and exposed you helpless before the curious gaze of kings. 18 You defiled your holiness with lust for gain;[b] therefore, I brought forth fire from your own actions and let it burn you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all those watching you.

Ezekiel 28:16-18
New International Version
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(A)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(B)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(C)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(D)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(E) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(F) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(G)
