Ezekiel 28:6-10

6Therefore thus says the Lord God, ‘Because you have imagined your mind [to be] Like the mind of God [having thoughts and plans like God Himself],

7Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers (Babylonians) upon you, The most ruthless and violent of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom [O Tyre] And defile your splendor.

8They will bring you down to the pit [of destruction], And you will die the death of all those who die In the heart of the seas.

9Will you still say, “I am a god,” In the presence of him who kills you? But you are [only] a man [made of earth] and not God, In the hands of those who wound and profane you.

10You will die the death of the uncircumcised [barbarian] By the hand of strangers, For I have spoken!’ says the Lord God.” ’ ”
