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 therefore the Lord God saith these things, For thine heart was raised [up] as the heart of God, (and so the Lord God saith these things, For thy heart was raised up like the heart of a god,)

7 therefore lo! I shall bring on thee aliens, the strongest of heathen. And they shall make naked their swords on the fairness of thy wisdom, and they shall defoul thy fairness. (and so lo! I shall bring strangers, or foreigners, against thee, yea, the strongest of the heathen. And they shall make their swords naked against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy beauty.)

8 They shall slay, and draw down thee (into the pit) (They shall kill thee, and draw thee down into the pit); and thou shalt die by the death of uncircumcised men, in the heart of the sea.

9 Whether thou shalt say, and speak, I am God, before them that slay thee; since thou art a man, and not God? In the hand of them that slay thee, (Shalt thou speak, and say, I am a god, before those who shall kill thee; since thou art but a man, and not a god? In the hands of those who shall kill thee,)

10 by death of uncircumcised men, thou shalt die in the hand of aliens; for I the Lord spake, saith the Lord God. (thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised, yea, by the hands of strangers, or of foreigners; for I the Lord spoke, saith the Lord God.)
