Ezekiel 28:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 As a trader, you bought and sold many things.
As a result, you became violent and you did evil things.
So I sent you away in shame.
I would not allow you to remain on my mountain.
The cherub that had been your guard chased you out.
You could no longer walk among the stones that burned with fire.
17 But because you were so beautiful, you were very proud.
You used your wisdom to do bad things,
because you loved to have beautiful things.
So I threw you down to the ground.
I let other kings see what had happened to you.
18 As a trader, you did many wrong things to cheat people.
Your holy places became unclean.
So I caused fire to completely destroy your city.
Everyone could see that only ashes remained on the ground.

Ezekiel 28:16-18
New International Version
16 Through your widespread trade
you were filled with violence,(A)
and you sinned.
So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,
and I expelled you, guardian cherub,(B)
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud(C)
on account of your beauty,
and you corrupted your wisdom
because of your splendor.
So I threw you to the earth;
I made a spectacle of you before kings.(D)
18 By your many sins and dishonest trade
you have desecrated your sanctuaries.
So I made a fire(E) come out from you,
and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(F) on the ground
in the sight of all who were watching.(G)
