Ezekiel 21:28-32
Expanded Bible
The Punishment of Ammon
28 “And you, ·human [T son of man; 2:1], prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Lord God says about the people of Ammon and their ·insults [mockery; or humiliation]:
A sword, a sword
is ·pulled out of its holder [drawn] ·to kill [for slaughter].
It is polished to ·destroy [consume],
to flash like lightning!
29 ·Prophets [L They] see false visions about you
and ·prophesy lies [false divinations] about you.
The sword will be put on the necks
of these ·unclean [profane; C ritually] and ·evil [wicked] people.
Their ·day of judging [L day] has come;
the time of final punishment has come.
30 Put the sword back in its ·holder [sheath].
I will judge you
in the place where you were created,
in the land where you were born.
31 I will pour out my anger against you
and ·blast you with [breathe/blow out] the fire of my anger.
I will hand you over to ·cruel [brutal] men,
experts in destruction.
32 You will be fuel for the fire;
·you will die in [L your blood will be in the midst of] the land.
You will not be remembered,
because I, the Lord, have spoken.’”
