24. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.
25. ‘Now to you, O profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end,
26. thus says the Lord God:“Remove the turban, and take off the crown;Nothing shall remain the same.Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.
27. Overthrown, overthrown,I will make it overthrown!It shall be no longer,Until He comes whose right it is,And I will give it to Him.” ’
28. “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say:‘A sword, a sword is drawn,Polished for slaughter,For consuming, for flashing—
29. While they see false visions for you,While they divine a lie to you,To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slainWhose day has come,Whose iniquity shall end.
30. ‘Return it to its sheath.I will judge youIn the place where you were created,In the land of your nativity.
31. I will pour out My indignation on you;I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath,And deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skillful to destroy.
32. You shall be fuel for the fire;Your blood shall be in the midst of the land.You shall not be remembered,For I the Lord have spoken.’ ”
