What does Ezekiel 28:8-9 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The enemy would slay the king and his city-state. Tyre would cease to exist as other empires had also died (cf27:26-34). She would no longer be a great sea power. This ruler and his city would then not be able to continue to believe that they were superior and all-powerful like a god.
