 Ezekiel chapter 28, vs 11 - 19 God speaking to evil/sin

… thus says the LORD ( YHVH ) God … you were the signet of perfection … full of wisdom and perfect in beauty … you were in Eden the garden of God … your covering included every precious stone … carnelian … chrysolite … moonstone … beryl … onyx … jasper … sapphire … turquoise … and … emerald … your gem settings and engravings were pure gold … on the day that you were created they were prepared … you were a guardian … an anointed Cherub … I placed you on the holy mountain or God … you walked among the stones of fire … on the day you were created you were blameless in your ways … blameless until iniquity was found in you … in the abundance of what you did you became filled with violence and you sinned … so … I cast you from the mountain of God because you became a profane thing … the guardian Cherubs drove you out from among the stones of fire … your heart had become proud because of your beauty … and so … you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor … I cast you to the ground and have exposed you before everyone … so … they can look with their eyes upon you … for … because of … the multitude of your iniquities and the unrighteousness of all that you do … you profane your presence everywhere that you are … I have brought out the fire from within you … that fire consumed you and has turned you into ashes on the earth in the sight of all who see you … all who encounter you among humankind will be appalled … for … you will come to a dreadful end … and … you will be … no more forever … 

28:19 כל-יודעיך בעמים שממו עליך בלהות היית ואינך עד-עולם
