28 “Now prophesy, son of man, and say: This is what the Lord God says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt. You are to proclaim:

A sword! A sword
is drawn for slaughter,
polished to consume,(A) to flash like lightning.
29 While they offer false visions(B)
and lying divinations about you,
the time has come to put you
to the necks of the profane wicked ones;
the day has come
for your punishment.[a]

30 Return it to its sheath!(C)

I will judge you[b]
in the place where you were created,
in the land of your origin.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you;
I will blow the fire of My fury on you.(D)
I will hand you over to brutal men,
skilled at destruction.
32 You will be fuel for the fire.
Your blood will be spilled in the land.
You will not be remembered,(E)
for I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

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!”
