Ezekiel 21:28-32

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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)
