Legacy Standard Bible
25 And you, O slain, wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose (A)day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,’ 26 thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Remove the turban and take off the (B)crown; this will [a]no longer be the same. (C)Make high that which is low and make low that which is high. 27 (D)A ruin, a ruin, a ruin, I will make it. This also will be no more until (E)He comes to whom the legal judgment belongs, and I will give it to Him.’

Evangelical Heritage Version
25 You corpse, you wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come for the time of final punishment, 26 this is what the Lord God says. Remove the turban. Take off the crown. Everything will be changed. Raise what is low. Bring down the high. 27 Ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it. This ruin will not end[a] until the one comes to whom judgment belongs, the one to whom I will give it.
Footnotes
- Ezekiel 21:27 Or will not be completed. The expression is quite difficult, but this verse points to the Messiah who was foretold in Genesis 49:10 as the one to whom it belongs. This verse answers the question posed in verse 13. When the kings of Judah are gone, the Messiah will come and fulfill the promise to David. It is uncertain whether the point is that the depressed status of Israel will end only when the Messiah comes, or that even after the Messiah comes, in 70 ad Jerusalem will fall again.
