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 understanding you have acquired wealth for yourself. You have acquired gold and silver for your treasuries.

5 By your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, but your heart has become proud because of your wealth."

6 Therefore this is what the Lord God says: Because you regard your heart as that of a god,

7 I am about to bring strangers against you, ruthless men from the nations. They will draw their swords against your magnificent wisdom and will defile your splendor.

8 They will bring you down to the Pit, and you will die a violent death in the heart of the sea.
