Context of Ezekiel 28:10

8They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die in the heart of the sea, pierced with many wounds. 9Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’ to those who kill you? To them you will be no god but merely a man! You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken!” 11Then this further message came to me from the Lord: 12“Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre.
