Ezekiel 21:28-32
World English Bible
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.”’”
Ezekiel 21:28-32

In the (F)place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you. 31 I will (G)pour out My indignation on you; I will (H)blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and I will hand you over to brutal men, (I)craftsmen of destruction. 32 You will be [c](J)fuel for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the land. You will (K)not be remembered, for I, the Lord, have spoken.’”
