16. Your rich commerce led you to violence,and you sinned.So I banished you in disgracefrom the mountain of God.I expelled you, O mighty guardian,from your place among the stones of fire.
17. Your heart was filled with pridebecause of all your beauty.Your wisdom was corruptedby your love of splendor.So I threw you to the groundand exposed you to the curious gaze of kings.
18. You defiled your sanctuarieswith your many sins and your dishonest trade.So I brought fire out from within you,and it consumed you.I reduced you to ashes on the groundin the sight of all who were watching.
19. All who knew you are appalled at your fate.You have come to a terrible end,and you will exist no more.”
