Ezekiel 28:8

A Prophecy Aimed At The King Of Tyre

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.
⁹
‘Will 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.
