“Because of your regarding your mind[a]
    like the mind[b] of a god,
therefore look! I am bringing strangers over you,
    the most ruthless of the peoples,
and they will draw their swords against the beauty[c] of your wisdom,
    and they will defile your splendor.
They will thrust you down to the pit,
    and you will die a violent death[d]
    in the heart of the seas.
