New International Version
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.’”

28 As for you, mortal, prophesy, and say: Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach; say:
A sword, a sword! Drawn for slaughter,
polished to consume,[a] to flash like lightning.(A)
29 Offering false visions for you,
divining lies for you,
they place you over the necks
of the vile, wicked ones—
those whose day has come,
the time of final punishment.(B)
30 Return it to its sheath!
In the place where you were created,
in the land of your origin,
I will judge you.(C)
31 I will pour out my indignation upon you;
with the fire of my wrath
I will blow upon you.
I will deliver you into brutish hands,
those skillful to destroy.(D)
32 You shall be fuel for the fire,
your blood shall enter the earth;
you shall be remembered no more,
for I the Lord have spoken.(E)
