The Bible
Ezekiel Chapter 28
1The word of ForeverOne
8They shall bring you down to the pit; and you shall die the death of those who are slain, in the heart of the seas.
9Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am God
10You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, says the Lord
11Moreover the word of ForeverOne
13You were in Eden, the garden of God
14You were the anointed cherub who covers: and I set you, [so that] you were on the holy mountain of God
15You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16By the abundance of your traffic they filled the midst of you with violence, and you have sinned: therefore I have cast you as profane out of the mountain of God
17Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your brightness: I have cast you to the ground; I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your traffic, you have profaned your sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of you; it has devoured you, and I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19All those who know you among the peoples shall be astonished at you: you have become a terror, and you shall nevermore have any being.
20The word of ForeverOne
23For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her, with the sword on her on every side; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne
24There shall be no more a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them, that did despite to them; and they shall know that I am the Lord
25Thus says the Lord
26They shall dwell securely therein; yes, they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and shall dwell securely, when I have executed judgments on all those who do them despite all around them; and they shall know that I am ForeverOne
