25. ‘ “You profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose time of punishment has reached its climax,
26. this is what the Sovereign Lord says: take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low.
27. A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! The crown will not be restored until he to whom it rightfully belongs shall come; to him I will give it.”
28. ‘And you, son of man, prophesy and say, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says about the Ammonites and their insults:‘ “A sword, a sword,drawn for the slaughter,polished to consumeand to flash like lightning!
29. Despite false visions concerning youand lying divinations about you,it will be laid on the necksof the wicked who are to be slain,whose day has come,whose time of punishment has reached its climax.
