27 A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! This place will not be rebuilt until the one comes who has a right to be king. Then I will give him that right.’
28 “And you, human, prophesy and say: ‘This is what the Lord God says about the people of Ammon and their insults:A sword, a swordis pulled out of its holder.It is polished to kill and destroy,to flash like lightning!
29 Prophets see false visions about youand prophesy lies about you.The sword will be put on the necksof these unclean and evil people.Their day of judging has come;the time of final punishment has come.
30 Put the sword back in its holder.I will judge youin the place where you were created,in the land where you were born.
31 I will pour out my anger against youand blast you with the fire of my anger.I will hand you over to cruel men,experts in destruction.
32 You will be like fuel for the fire;you will die in the land.You will not be remembered,because I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”
