Ezekiel 28:6-19 The Message (MSG)
“‘Therefore, GOD, the Master, says: “‘Because you’re acting like a god, pretending to be a god, I’m giving fair warning: I’m bringing strangers down on you, the most vicious of all nations. They’ll pull their swords and make hash of your reputation for knowing it all. They’ll puncture the balloon of your god-pretensions.

They’re killing a man, not a god. You’ll die like a stray dog, killed by strangers— Because I said so. Decree of GOD, the Master.’” GOD’s Message came to me: “Son of man, raise a funeral song over the king of Tyre. Tell him, A Message from GOD, the Master
