13 You had a wonderful life,
    like those in Eden, the garden of God.
Every valuable gem was on you:
    ruby, topaz and emerald,
    yellow quartz, onyx and jasper,
    sapphire, turquoise and chrysolite.
Your jewelry was made of gold.
    It was prepared on the day you were created.
14 I appointed a living creature to guard you.
    I put you on the holy mountain of God.
    You walked among the gems of fire.
15 Your life was right and good.
    This was from the day you were created,
    until evil was found in you.

Your settings and mountings[b] were made of gold;
    on the day you were created they were prepared.(E)
14 You were anointed(F) as a guardian cherub,(G)
    for so I ordained you.
You were on the holy mount of God;
    you walked among the fiery stones.
15 You were blameless in your ways
    from the day you were created
    till wickedness was found in you.
