Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, aO covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.

You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.

It devoured you,
And I turned you to ashes upon the earth
In the sight of all who saw you.

And blood in her streets;
The wounded shall be judged in her midst
By the sword against her on every side;
