25 And you, O profane[a] (A)wicked one, prince of Israel, (B)whose day has come, (C)the time of your final punishment, 26 thus says the Lord God: Remove the turban and take off the crown. Things shall not remain as they are. (D)Exalt that which is low, and bring low that which is exalted. 27 A ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it. (E)This also shall not be, (F)until he comes, the one to whom judgment belongs, and I will give it to him.

  1. Ezekiel 21:25 Or slain; also verse 29

25 “So now, you dishonored and wicked prince of Israel,
    whose day has come
        in this time of final punishment,
26 This is what the Lord God says:

‘Remove your turban!
    Take off your crown!
Things aren’t going to remain
    as they used to be.
What is lowly will be exalted,
    and what is lofty will be brought low.
27 A ruin! A ruin!
    I’m bringing about ruin!’
But this also will not happen
    until he who has authority over it arrives,
        because I’ll give it to him.”
