24For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.
25And you, O evil one, wounded to death, O ruler of Israel, whose day has come in the time of the last punishment;
26This is what the Lord has said: Take away the holy head-dress, take off the crown: this will not be again: let that which is low be lifted up, and that which is high be made low.
27I will let it be overturned, overturned, overturned: this will not be again till he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.
28And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:
29Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.
30Go back into your cover. In the place where you were made, in the land from which you were taken, I will be your judge.
