23 It will seem like false divination in the eyes of those who have sworn an oath to the Babylonians, but it will draw attention to their guilt so that they will be captured.
24 “Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your actions, since you have done this, you will be captured by them.
25 And you, profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your punishment.”
26 This 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 down the exalted.
27 A ruin, a ruin,I will make it a ruin!Yet this will not happenuntil He comes; I have given the judgment to Him.
28 “Now prophesy, son of man, and say: This is what the Lord God says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt. You are to proclaim:A sword! A swordis drawn for slaughter,polished to consume, to flash like lightning.
29 While they offer false visions and lying divinations about you,the time has come to put youto the necks of the profane wicked ones;the day has comefor your punishment.
