Ezekiel
28:11-19
- [Verse 13 in Original Hebrew]
11 Again the word of the LORD came to
me saying, 12 "Son of man, take R932 up a lamentation over the king
of Tyre and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "You had F375 the seal of perfection, Full of
wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 "You
were in Eden, R933 the garden of God; Every R934 precious stone was your
covering: The ruby, R935 the topaz and the diamond; The
beryl, the onyx and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise and the
emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings F376 R936 and sockets, F377 Was in you. On the day that you
were created They were prepared. 14 "You were the
anointed R937 cherub who covers, F378 And I placed you {there.} You
were on the holy mountain R938 of God; You walked in the midst
of the stones R939 of fire. 15 "You
were blameless R940 in your ways From the day you
were created Until unrighteousness R941 was found in you. 16 "By
the abundance R942 of your trade You F379 were internally filled R943 with violence, And you sinned;
Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have
destroyed you, O covering F380 cherub, From the midst of the
stones of fire. 17 "Your heart was lifted up because
of your beauty; R944 You corrupted R945 your wisdom by reason of your
splendor. I cast you to the ground; I put you before kings, R946 That they may see you. 18 "By
the multitude of your iniquities, In the unrighteousness of your trade You
profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought fire R947 from the midst of you; It has
consumed you, And I have turned you to ashes R948 on the earth In the eyes of all
who see you. 19 "All who know you among the peoples
Are appalled at you; You have become terrified F381 R949 And you will cease to be
forever.'"" R950 |
Your heart became haughty
because of your beauty. You brought your
wisdom to ruin on account of your
beaming splendor.—Ezek. 28:17.
He thought so much of himself that he began to
crave the worship of Adam and Eve. This wicked desire became fertile and gave birth to sin.
(Jas. 1:14, 15) Satan’s haughtiness knows no bounds. He has tried to seduce all intelligent
creatures in heaven and on earth, including Jesus Christ, into worshipping
him.—Matt. 4:8-10; Rev. 12:3, 4, 9. w

(Proverbs 11:2) Has presumptuousness
come? Then dishonor will come; but wisdom is with the modest ones.
(Proverbs 16:18) Pride is before a crash, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.
(Ezekiel 27:3) and you must say to
Tyre, “‘O you who are dwelling at the entrances of [the] sea, the tradeswoman
of the peoples for many islands, this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has
said: “O Tyre, you yourself have said, ‘I am perfect in prettiness.’
