16 Through the abundance of your trade,
you were filled with violence, and you sinned.
So I expelled you in disgrace
from the mountain of God,
and banished you, guardian cherub,[a]
from among the fiery stones.
17 Your heart became proud because of your beauty;(A)
For the sake of your splendor
you corrupted your wisdom.
So I threw you down to the ground;[b]
I made you a spectacle before kings.
18 You profaned your sanctuaries
by the magnitude of your iniquities
in your dishonest trade.
So I made fire come from within you,
and it consumed you.(B)
I reduced you to ashes on the ground
in the sight of everyone watching you.
