Ezekiel 28:11–18 is a lament over the king of Tyre, portraying him in Eden-like glory before pride led to his downfall. The imagery of precious stones, a guardian cherub, and the holy mountain highlights both the blessing he received and the arrogance that consumed him from within. This passage warns us that pride always destroys, but points us to Christ, the humble King who rescues us from the fire of judgment.
