Ezekiel 21:28–32

28 “Now you, son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘This is what the Lord God says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt.’ You are to proclaim,

‘A sword! A sword

is drawn for slaughter,

polished to consume,n to flash like lightning.

29 While they offer false visionso

and lying divinations about you,

the time has come to put you

to the necks of the profane wicked ones;

the day has come

for final punishment.

30 “ ‘Return it to its sheath!p

“ ‘I will judge youA

in the place where you were created,

in the land of your origin.

31 I will pour out my indignation on you;

I will blow the fire of my fury on you.q

I will hand you over to brutal men,

skilled at destruction.

32 You will be fuel for the fire.

Your blood will be spilled within the land.

You will not be remembered,r

for I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”
