Ezequiel 28:2
Who then will pay the price for the shedding of the blood of him who came in human likeness, if not [Satan], who, clothing himself in a human form, betrayed him, not because he was able to condemn and betray him but because he wished to betray him? It was not [the Lord] who killed malice. It killed itself through its works.… If anyone shoots an arrow against his enemy that returns to strike him, he breaks the arrow and burns his bow. In the same way, Satan, seeing that the Son's death was victory for the world and that his cross freed created beings, entered into Judas, his [chosen] vessel, and the latter went and put a cord around his neck and choked himself. — COMMENTARY ON TATIAN'S DIATESSARON 20:18
Ezequiel 28:12-13
Blessed is the poor person who gazes on that place; riches are poured in profusion outside and around it; chalcedony and other gems lie there cast out to prevent their defiling the glorious earth of paradise; should someone place there precious stones or beryls, these would appear ugly and dull compared with that dazzling land. — HYMNS ON PARADISE 7:4
