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 discernment, you made yourself rich, and you filled your storehouses with silver and gold.

5 Through your shrewd trading you multiplied your riches. But then you became proud of your riches.

6 So now the LORD God proclaims: Because you claim to have the mind of a god,

7 I'll bring foreigners, the most ruthless nations, against you. They will let loose their swords against your fine wisdom, and they will degrade your splendor.

8 They will hurl you to destruction, and you will die, murdered, on the high seas.
