26 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork in the road, at the start of the two roads, to seek divination. He shakes the arrows, consults the idols, he looks in the liver.
27 In his right hand is the lot for Jerusalem—to set up battering rams, to open the mouth for slaughter, to lift up the voice with a war cry, to set up battering rams against the gates, to cast up ramps, to build a siege wall.
28 It will seem to them like a false divination. They have sworn solemn oaths, but he will remember their iniquity, so they may be seized.”
29 Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, by exposing your transgressions, so that your sins appear in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance, you will be seized with the hand.
30 So you, wicked one, prince of Israel, the day has come to be slain, the time of final punishment.”
31 Thus says Adonai Elohim: “Remove the turban, take off the crown! This will no longer be the same. What is low will be exalted. What is high will be abased.
32 Ruin, ruin, I will make it a ruin! Even this will not be, until He comes to whom belongs the judgment, and I give it to Him.
