23. It shall be to them as a false divination in their sight, to those who have sworn oaths. But he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be seized.
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 deeds your sins do appear, because, I say, that you have come to remembrance, you shall be seized with the hand.
25. You, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come in the time of the punishment of the end,
26. thus says the Lord God: Remove the diadem and take off the crown. This shall not be the same anymore. Exalt what is low, and abase what is high.
27. A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it. And it shall be no more until He comes whose right it is, and I shall give it to Him.
28. You, son of man, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God concerning the sons of Ammon and concerning their reproach, and say, The sword, the sword is drawn,furbished for the slaughter,to cause it to consumethat it may be like lightning,
29. while they see vanity for you,while they divine a lie to youto bring you upon the necksof the wicked who are slain,whose day has comein the time of the punishment of the end.
