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 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.’”
