Ezekiel 28:6-8
International Standard Version
6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says:
“Because you’ve made your heart
like that of God
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.
