Ezekiel 21:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ “So this is what the Lord God says: ‘You have ·shown how sinful you are [^Lcaused your guilt to be remembered] by ·turning against the Lord [^Luncovering your trangressions]. Your sins are ·seen [revealed] in all the things you do. Because of this proof against you, you will be taken captive by the enemy.

²⁵ “‘You ·unclean [profane; ^Critually] and evil ·leader [prince] of Israel, ·you will be killed [^Lwhose day has come]! The time of your final punishment has come. ²⁶ This is what the Lord God says: Take off the royal turban, and remove the crown. Things will change. ·Those who are unimportant now will be made important [The lowly will be exalted], and ·those who are important now will be made unimportant [the exalted will be made lowly].
