Ezekiel 28:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ therefore, I will bring strangers against you,
    the most terrible of the nations;
they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom
    and defile your splendor.^(A)
8 They shall thrust you down to the Pit,
    and you shall die a violent death
    in the heart of the seas.^(B)
9 Will you still say, “I am a god,”
    in the presence of those who kill you,
though you are but a mortal and no god,
    in the hands of those who pierce you?
