New King James Version (NKJV)
Ezekiel 21
25 Now to you, O profane, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end,
26 thus says the Lord God: "Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.
27 Overthrown, overthrown, I will make it overthrown! It shall be no longer, Until He comes whose right it is, And I will give it to Him." ’
28 "And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ’Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say: ’A sword, a sword is drawn, Polished for slaughter, For consuming, for flashing--
29 While they see false visions for you, While they divine a lie to you, To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slain Whose day has come, Whose iniquity shall end.
30 ’Return it to its sheath. I will judge you In the place where you were created, In the land of your nativity.
31 I will pour out My indignation on you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath, And deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skillful to destroy.
32 You shall be fuel for the fire; Your blood shall be in the midst of the land. You shall not be remembered, For I the Lord have spoken.’ "
Ezekiel 22
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 "Now, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? Yes, show her all her abominations!
3 Then say, ’Thus says the Lord God: "The city sheds blood in her own midst, that her time may come; and she makes idols within herself to defile herself.
