25 And you, profane and wicked prince of Israel,[a](A)
the day has come(B)
for your punishment.”[b]

26 This is what the Lord God says:

Remove the turban, and take off the crown.
Things will not remain as they are;[c]
exalt the lowly and bring down the exalted.(C)
27 A ruin, a ruin,
I will make it a ruin!
Yet this will not happen
until He comes;(D)
I have given the judgment to Him.[d]
