SCRIPTURE

"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee." — Ezekiel 28:15 (ASV)

Till iniquity was found in thee.— This and the following verse renew still more clearly the comparison with Adam. The king was altogether prosperous until his sin became manifest; then, when his heart was corrupted by his prosperity (Ezekiel 28:16), he was cast out for ever, like Adam from his paradise.
