6 “ ‘So this is what the Lord God says:You think you are wiselike a god,
7 but I will bring foreign people against you,the cruelest nation.They will pull out their swordsand destroy all that your wisdom has built,and they will dishonor your greatness.
8 They will kill you;you will die a terrible deathlike those who are killed at sea.
9 While they are killing you,you will not be able to say anymore, “I am a god.”You will be only a human, not a god,when your murderers kill you.
10 You will die like an unclean person;foreigners will kill you.I have spoken, says the Lord God.’ ”
