Ezekiel 21:27-29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ A ruin, ruin, ruin I will make it; there shall not be even a trace^[a] of it until he comes whose right it is; and to him I will give it.

²⁸ “And you, son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; say, A sword, a sword is drawn for the slaughter, it is polished to glitter^[b] and to flash like lightning— ²⁹ while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies for you—to be laid on the necks of the unhallowed wicked, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
