## Ezekiel 28:12-18 in Context (Verses 9–21 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/9) Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I *am* God? but thou *shalt be* a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/10) Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken *it*, saith the Lord GOD.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/11) ¶ Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 
 [12 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/12) Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/13) Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone *was* thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.***
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/14) Thou *art* the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee *so:* thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/15) Thou *wast* perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/16) By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/17) Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/18) Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/19) All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never *shalt* thou *be* any more.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/20) ¶ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 
 [21 ](/kjv/ezekiel/28/21) Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
