New International Version

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!
²⁹Despite 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.
³¹I 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)
³²You 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.’”
