Ezekiel 28:12 in Context — Ezekiel 28

10 Tu mourras de la mort des incirconcis, Par la main des étrangers. Car moi, j’ai parlé, Dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.

11 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

12 Fils de l’homme, Prononce une complainte sur le roi de Tyr! Tu lui diras: Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l’Éternel: Tu mettais le sceau à la perfection, Tu étais plein de sagesse, parfait en beauté.

13 Tu étais en Éden, le jardin de Dieu; Tu étais couvert de toute espèce de pierres précieuses, De sardoine, de topaze, de diamant, De chrysolithe, d’onyx, de jaspe, De saphir, d’escarboucle, d’émeraude, et d’or; Tes tambourins et tes flûtes étaient à ton service, Préparés pour le jour où tu fus créé.

14 Tu étais un chérubin protecteur, aux ailes déployées; Je t’avais placé et tu étais sur la sainte montagne de Dieu; Tu marchais au milieu des pierres étincelantes.
