EZEKIEL 28:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.”
Will you still say before him who slays you, 'I am a god'? But you are a man, and not a god, in the hand of him who wounds you, reiterating the central irony that the prince's death will explode his divine pretensions. The repetition emphasizes the absurdity of maintaining such claims in the face of mortal violence, suggesting that reality will forcefully correct the prince's theological error.
