Ezekiel 28:7

Read in context

Ezekiel 28:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has grown proud because of it.

6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you regard your heart as the heart of a god,

7 behold, I will bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless of nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and will defile your splendor.

8 They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.
