These shall draw out their swords upon thy beauty and wisdom, and shall defile thy glory. 8 They shall cast thee down to the pit, so that thou shalt die in the midst of the sea, 9 as they that be slain. Let see, if thou wilt say then, before them that slay thee, 'I am God' - whereas thou art but a man and not God, in the hands of them that slayeth thee.
