And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”  
6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring astrangers against you,
bThe most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor. 
8 They shall throw you down into the aPit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas. 
9 “Will you still asay before him who slays you,
‘I am a god’?
But you shall be a man, and not a god,
In the hand of him who slays you. 
10 You shall die the death of athe uncircumcised
By the hand of aliens;
For I have spoken,” says the Lord God.’ ”
