Ezekiel 21:28-32
International Standard Version
A Rebuke to Ammon
28 And now Son of Man, prophesy to the Ammonites that this is what the Lord God says to the Ammonites about their approaching humiliation:
“A sword! A sword is being drawn for slaughter.
It’s polished to flash like lightning.
29 When they see empty visions about you
while they’re divining lies for you,
to lay you on the necks of the wicked,
who are fatally wounded,
whose days have come,
their time for punishment.
30 Return it to its scabbard.
“At the place where you were formed,
in the land of your origin,
there is where I’ll judge you.
31 I’m going to pour out my indignation all over you.
I’ll blow my fierce wrath against you
and deliver you into the control of brutal men
who are skilled at destruction.
32 You’ll be fuel[a] for the conflagration.
Your blood will be spilled[b] throughout the land.
You won’t be remembered anymore,
now that I, the Lord, have spoken.”

Ezekiel 21:28-32
New International Version
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says about the Ammonites(A) and their insults:
“‘A sword,(B) a sword,
drawn for the slaughter,
polished to consume
and to flash like lightning!
29 Despite false visions concerning you
and lying divinations(C) about you,
it will be laid on the necks
of the wicked who are to be slain,
whose day has come,
whose time of punishment has reached its climax.(D)
30 “‘Let the sword return to its sheath.(E)
In the place where you were created,
in the land of your ancestry,(F)
I will judge you.
31 I will pour out my wrath on you
and breathe(G) out my fiery anger(H) against you;
I will deliver you into the hands of brutal men,
men skilled in destruction.(I)
32 You will be fuel for the fire,(J)
your blood will be shed in your land,
you will be remembered(K) no more;
for I the Lord have spoken.’”
