Ezekiel 21:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ King Zedekiah, your day has come. You are an unholy and evil prince in Israel. The day for you to be punished is here. ²⁶ The Lord and King says, “Take off your turban. Remove your crown. Things will not be as they were in the past. Those who are considered not important will be honored. And those who are honored will be considered not important. ²⁷ Jerusalem will fall. I will destroy it. It will not be rebuilt until the true king comes. After all, the kingdom belongs to him. I will give it to him.
