Ezekiel 28:10

Judgment

8 They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who slay you? You will be only a man, not a god, in the hands of those who wound you.

You will die the death of the uncircumcised at the hands of foreigners. For I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.”

11 Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

12 “Son of man, take up a lament for the king of Tyre and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
