Ezekiel 28:10

10 You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”

Ezekiel 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 28:10

Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised
Or the death of the wicked, as the Targum; the first and second death, temporal and eternal: the former by the hand of strangers,
the Chaldeans, in various shapes; and the latter will follow upon it: it may denote the various kinds of death which the inhabitants of Rome will die when destroyed, some by famine, some by pestilence, and others by fire; when these plagues shall come upon her in one day, ( Revelation 18:8 ) . for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God;
and therefore it shall surely come to pass; strong is the Lord that will judge, condemn, and destroy mystical Babylon, or Tyre.

Ezekiel 28:10 In-Context

8 They will bring you down to the pit, and you will die in the heart of the sea, pierced with many wounds.
9 Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’ to those who kill you? To them you will be no god but merely a man!
10 You will die like an outcast at the hands of foreigners. I, the Sovereign LORD, have spoken!”
11 Then this further message came to me from the LORD :
12 “Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the Sovereign LORD : “You were the model of perfection, full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty.
