Ezekiel 28:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Therefore, look!
I’m bringing foreigners in your direction,
the most terrifying of nations!
They will direct their violence[a]
against the grandeur
that you’ve created by your wisdom.
8 They’ll send you down to the Pit,[b]
and you’ll die defiled in the depths of the sea.
9 Is that when you’ll say, ‘I’m God’
to the face of those who will be killing you?
After all, you’re a man,
and have never been a god,
especially when you’re under the control[c] of those
who will defile you!
