Ezekiel 28:8 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:8

They shall bring thee down to the pit
Or, "to corruption" {k}; to the grave, the pit of corruption and destruction; so antichrist shall go into perdition, into the bottomless pit from whence he came, ( Revelation 17:8 ) : and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of
the seas;
that die in a sea fight, whose carcasses are thrown overboard, and devoured by fishes.

Ezekiel 28:8 In-Context

6 therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Because you consider yourself as wise as a god,

7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you, the most terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom and defile your splendor.

8 They shall thrust you down into the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the seas.

9 Will you still say, 'I am a god,' in the presence of those who slay you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who wound you?

10 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, says the Lord GOD."
