7. I will now bring against you a foreign army,the terror of the nations.They will draw their swords against your marvelous wisdomand defile your splendor!
8. They will bring you down to the pit,and you will die in the heart of the sea,pierced with many wounds.
9. Will you then boast, ‘I am a god!’to those who kill you?To them you will be no godbut merely a man!
