“Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;”
They shall thrust you down to the Pit, and you shall die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea, specifying that the prince will descend to Sheol (the Pit) in disgrace rather than ascending to divinity. The 'death of the slain' suggests a violent, shameful end rather than the noble or peaceful death that might befit a king. The image of dying 'in the heart of the sea' connects the prince's fate to Tyre's, suggesting that he will perish with his city.
