Ezekiel 21:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 21:25

23 And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who ^ahave sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.

24 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.

25 ‘Now to you, O ^aprofane, wicked prince of Israel, ^bwhose 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.
^aExalt the humble, and humble the exalted.

27 ¹Overthrown, overthrown,
I will make it overthrown!
^aIt shall be no longer,
Until He comes whose right it is,
And I will give it to ^bHim.” ’

A Sword Against the Ammonites

28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God ^aconcerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say:
‘A sword, a sword is drawn,
Polished for slaughter,
For consuming, for flashing—

29 While they ^asee false visions for you,
While they divine a lie to you,
To bring you on the necks of the wicked, the slain
^bWhose day has come,
Whose iniquity shall end.
