28 “You, son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach:

“A sword! A sword is drawn!
    It is polished for the slaughter,
to cause it to devour,
    that it may be as lightning;
29 while they see for you false visions,
    while they divine lies to you,
to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded,
    whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath.
    In the place where you were created,
    in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
31 I will pour out my indignation on you.
    I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath.
I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men,
    skillful to destroy.
32 You will be for fuel to the fire.
    Your blood will be in the middle of the land.
You will be remembered no more;
    for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.”’”

28 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and say thou, A sword, a sword is drawn, for the slaughter it is furbished, [a]to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning; 29 while they see for thee false visions, while they divine lies unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are deadly wounded, whose day is come in the time of the [b]iniquity of the end. 30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where thou wast created, in the land of [c]thy birth, will I judge thee. 31 And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee; I will blow upon thee with the fire of my wrath; and I will deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy. 32 Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I, Jehovah, have spoken it.
