Ezekiel 28:7

A Prophecy Aimed At The King Of Tyre

⁶ Therefore 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],
⁷ 
Therefore, 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.
⁸
‘They 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.
