LUX LUCIDUS

You were anointed as a guardian cherub,

ㅤ for so I ordained you.

You were on the holy mount of God;

ㅤ you walked among the fiery stones.

You were blameless in your ways

ㅤ from the day you were created

ㅤ till wickedness was found in you.

Through your widespread trade

ㅤ you were filled with violence,

ㅤ and you sinned.

So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God,

ㅤ and I expelled you, guardian cherub,

ㅤ from among the fiery stones.

Your heart became proud

ㅤ on account of your beauty,

and you corrupted your wisdom

ㅤ because of your splendor.

So I threw you to the earth;

ㅤ I made a spectacle of you before kings.

By your many sins and dishonest trade

ㅤ you have desecrated your sanctuaries.

So I made a fire come out from you,

ㅤ and it consumed you,

and I reduced you to ashes on the ground

ㅤ in the sight of all who were watching.

All the nations who knew you

ㅤ are appalled at you;

you have come to a horrible end

ㅤ and will be no more.

— Ezekiel 28:14-19
