Ezekiel 28:10

Context

28:10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised 1  by the hand of foreigners;

for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.’”

Ezekiel 32:28

Context

32:28 “But as for you, in the midst of the uncircumcised you will be broken, and you will lie with those killed by the sword.

1 sn The Phoenicians practiced circumcision, so the language here must be figurative, indicating that they would be treated in a disgraceful manner. Uncircumcised peoples were viewed as inferior, unclean, and perhaps even sub-human. See 31:18 and 32:17-32, as well as the discussion in D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:99.
