Ezekiel

Ezekiel 21:25–27

25And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel,

the day has come for your final punishment.’

26This is what the Lord GOD says:

‘Remove the turban,

and take off the crown.

Things will not remain as they are:

Exalt the lowly

and bring low the exalted.

27A ruin, a ruin,

I will make it a ruin!

And it will not be restored

until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs,

to whom I have assigned the right of judgment.b’
