A Message for the Ammonites

28 “And now, son of man, prophesy concerning the Ammonites and their mockery. Give them this message from the Sovereign Lord:

“A sword, a sword
    is drawn for your slaughter.
It is polished to destroy,
    flashing like lightning!
29 Your prophets have given false visions,
    and your fortune-tellers have told lies.
The sword will fall on the necks of the wicked
    for whom the day of final reckoning has come.

30 “Now return the sword to its sheath,
    for in your own country,
the land of your birth,
    I will pass judgment upon you.
31 I will pour out my fury on you
    and blow on you with the fire of my anger.
I will hand you over to cruel men
    who are skilled in destruction.
32 You will be fuel for the fire,
    and your blood will be spilled in your own land.
You will be utterly wiped out,
    your memory lost to history,
    for I, the Lord, have spoken!”
