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 Through your wisdom and understanding you have made yourself rich. You have gained gold and silver and have saved it in your storerooms.

5 Through your great skill in trading, you have made your riches grow. You are too proud because of your riches.

6 "'So this is what the Lord God says: You think you are wise like a god,

7 but I will bring foreign people against you, the cruelest nation. They will pull out their swords and destroy all that your wisdom has built, and they will dishonor your greatness.

8 They will kill you; you will die a terrible death like those who are killed at sea.
