Ezekiel 21:28-32
New Living Translation
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!”
Ezekiel 21:28-32
English Standard Version
28 “And you, (A)son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God (B)concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach; say, (C)A sword, a sword (D)is drawn for the slaughter. (E)It is polished to consume and to flash like lightning— 29 while (F)they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you—to place you on the necks of the profane wicked, (G)whose day has come, the time of their final punishment. 30 (H)Return it to its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, (I)I will judge you. 31 And (J)I will pour out my indignation upon you; (K)I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of (L)brutish men, skillful to destroy. 32 You shall be fuel for the fire. Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. (M)You shall be no more remembered, (N)for I the Lord have spoken.”
