Ezekiel 28:4-10
New International Version
4 By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.(A)
5 By your great skill in trading(B)
you have increased your wealth,(C)
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.(D)
6 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“‘Because you think you are wise,
as wise as a god,
7 I am going to bring foreigners against you,
the most ruthless of nations;(E)
they will draw their swords against your beauty and wisdom(F)
and pierce your shining splendor.(G)
8 They will bring you down to the pit,(H)
and you will die a violent death(I)
in the heart of the seas.(J)
9 Will you then say, “I am a god,”
in the presence of those who kill you?
You will be but a mortal, not a god,(K)
in the hands of those who slay you.(L)
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised(M)
at the hands of foreigners.
I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.’”
Ezekiel 28:4-10
King James Version
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
9 Wilt 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.
10 Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
