Ezekiel 28:5-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Through your great wisdom in tradingyou heaped up riches for yourself—your heart is haughty because of your riches.

6. Therefore thus says the Lord God:Because you pretend you are a god at heart,

7. Therefore, I will bring against youstrangers, the most bloodthirsty of nations.They shall draw their swordsagainst your splendid wisdom,and violate your radiance.

8. They shall thrust you down into the pit:you shall die a violent deathin the heart of the sea.

9. Then, face to face with your killers,will you still say, “I am a god”?No, you are a man, not a god,handed over to those who slay you.
