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)

25 “So now, you dishonored and wicked prince of Israel,
    whose day has come
        in this time of final punishment,
26 This is what the Lord God says:

‘Remove your turban!
    Take off your crown!
Things aren’t going to remain
    as they used to be.
What is lowly will be exalted,
    and what is lofty will be brought low.
27 A ruin! A ruin!
    I’m bringing about ruin!’
But this also will not happen
    until he who has authority over it arrives,
        because I’ll give it to him.”
