“Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: Your[fn] heart is proud, and you have said, “I am a god; I sit in the seat of gods in the heart of the sea.” Yet you are a man and not a god, though you have regarded your heart as that of a god.

from the mountain of God,

and banished you, guardian cherub,[fn]

from among the fiery stones.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 28:17 -

“Your heart became proud because of your beauty;

For the sake of your splendor

are appalled at you.

You have become an object of horror

and will never exist again.’ ”
