EZEKIEL 28:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.”
Your heart was proud because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground; I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you, attributing the king's downfall to pride in his own beauty and wisdom, leading to corruption of his understanding. The casting to the ground represents humiliation and reversal of exaltation, while exposure before kings indicates public shaming. The phrase 'feast their eyes on you' suggests mockery and derision, with the king's fall becoming a spectacle for other rulers.
