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 "'This is what the Almighty LORD says: You think you are wise like God.
7 That is why I am going to bring foreigners against you, the most ruthless foreigners among the nations. They will draw their swords against your fine wisdom and dishonor your greatness.
8 They will throw you into a pit, and you will die a violent death in the sea.
9 You will no longer say that you are a god when you face those who kill you. You will be a human, not a god, in the hands of those who kill you.
10 You will die at the hands of foreigners like a godless person. I have spoken,'" declares the LORD.
