“Because your heart is lofty

And you have said, ‘I am a god;

In the heart of the seas’;

Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

“You were in Eden, the garden of God;

Every precious stone was your covering:

Was in you.

On the day that you were created

They were prepared.

From the midst of the stones of fire.

That they may see you.

In the unrighteousness of your trade

In the eyes of all who see you.
