Ezekiel 28:4-9
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)
