Ezekiel 21:25-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
25 As for you, vile, wicked prince of Israel,
you whose day has come,
the time of final punishment,(A)
26 thus says the Lord God:
Remove the turban, take off the crown;
things shall not remain as they are.
Exalt that which is low;
humble that which is high.(B)
27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin—
I will make it!
(Such has never occurred.)
Until he comes whose right it is;
to him I will give it.(C)
Ezekiel 17:13-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
13 He took one of the royal offspring and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath (he had taken away the chief men of the land),(A) 14 so that the kingdom might be humble and not lift itself up and that by keeping his covenant it might stand.(B) 15 But he rebelled against him by sending ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and a large army. Will he succeed? Can one escape who does such things? Can he break the covenant and yet escape?(C) 16 As I live, says the Lord God, surely in the place where the king resides who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant with him he broke—in Babylon he shall die.(D) 17 Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in war, when ramps are cast up and siege walls built to cut off many lives.(E) 18 Because he despised the oath and broke the covenant, because he gave his hand and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.(F) 19 Therefore thus says the Lord God: As I live, I will surely return upon his head my oath that he despised and my covenant that he broke. 20 I will spread my net over him, and he shall be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there for the treason he has committed against me.(G) 21 All the pick[a] of his troops shall fall by the sword, and the survivors shall be scattered to every wind, and you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken.(H)
