Ezekiel 28:12-17
(12) "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD:
"You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
(13) You were in Eden, the garden of God;
Every precious stone was your covering:

Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
(14) "You were the anointed cherub who covers;

You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
(15) You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
(16) "By the abundance of your trading
You became filled with violence within,
And you sinned;
Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
Out of the mountain of God;
And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
From the midst of the fiery stones.
(17) "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
I cast you to the ground,
I laid you before kings,
That they might gaze at you.

His condition declined noticeably after Christmas—he even went so far as to steal a car and crash it, as he had never driven before. In making small talk with Bobby to get him to open up, Dr. Peck asked him what he had received for Christmas. The distressing response: a gun. While this was bad enough—giving a gun to a depressed adolesc
