“They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.”
You shall die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of foreigners; for I have spoken, declares the Lord God, specifying a particularly shameful death—dying in the manner of the uncircumcised (those outside the covenant community, symbolizing separation from God). The 'hand of foreigners' emphasizes that the prince will be killed by those outside his realm, suggesting military conquest and humiliation. The closing formula affirms the certainty of this judgment.
