¹⁵ Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.

¹⁷ Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty; thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I have cast thee to the ground; I have laid thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

¹⁸ By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee; it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

¹² Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

³ behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that is hidden from thee;

⁴ by thy wisdom and by thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;

⁵ by thy great wisdom `and' by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches;-

⁶ therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God,

³ and say unto Tyre, O thou that dwellest at the entry of the sea, that art the merchant of the peoples unto many isles, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Thou, O Tyre, hast said, I am perfect in beauty.

⁴ Thy borders are in the heart of the seas; thy builders have perfected thy beauty.

²⁶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

²⁷ And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

⁴ For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

⁹ And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

¹⁶ The crown is fallen from our head: Woe unto us! for we have sinned.

¹² How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, that didst lay low the nations!

²⁹ Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

³⁴ Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any people.

⁵ And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

⁶ And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
