Ezekiel 28:7 Context
5By thy great wisedome, and by thy traffique hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted vp because of thy riches. 6Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7Behold therefore, I will bring strangers vpon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beautie of thy wisedome, & they shall defile thy brightnesse. 8They shall bring thee downe to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them, that are slaine in the middest of the seas. 9Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
