27 A ruin, a ruin,
I will make it a ruin!
Yet this will not happen
until He comes;(A)
I have given the judgment to Him.[a]

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 sword
is drawn for slaughter,
polished to consume,(B) to flash like lightning.
29 While they offer false visions(C)
and lying divinations about you,
the time has come to put you
to the necks of the profane wicked ones;
the day has come
for your punishment.[b]
