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.

18 As a trader, you did many wrong things to cheat people.
Your holy places became unclean.

They have seen the terrible thing that has happened to you.
You have come to a complete end and you will never return.” ’

    and it consumed you,
and I reduced you to ashes(D) on the ground

19 All the nations who knew you
    are appalled(F) at you;
you have come to a horrible end
    and will be no more.(G)’”
