Ezekiel 28:8

Read in context

Ezekiel 28:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”
