Ezekiel 28:6 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:6

Therefore thus saith the Lord God
Now follows the punishment threatened, because of all this pride, haughtiness, and blasphemy: because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
seeking thine own glory; setting up thyself above all others; assuming that to thyself which belongs to God; and making thyself equal to him, or showing thyself as if thou wast God; (See Gill on Ezekiel 28:2).

Ezekiel 28:6 In-Context

4 by your wisdom and your understanding you have amassed wealth for yourself, and have gathered gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your wealth, and your heart has become proud in your wealth.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you compare your mind with the mind of a god,
7 therefore, I will bring strangers against you, the most terrible of the nations; they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.
8 They shall thrust you down to the Pit, and you shall die a violent death in the heart of the seas.
