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—

    (Such has never occurred.)
Until he comes whose right it is;
    to him I will give it.(C)
