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 "Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying: Because you think you are as wise as a god,
7 I will bring ruthless enemies to attack you. They will destroy all the beautiful things you have acquired by skill and wisdom.
8 They will kill you and send you to a watery grave.
9 When they come to kill you, will you still claim that you are a god? When you face your murderers, you will be mortal and not at all divine.
10 You will die like a dog at the hand of godless foreigners. I, the Sovereign Lord, have given the command."
