²⁸ “Son of dust, prophesy to the Ammonites too, for they mocked my people in their woe. Tell them this:

“‘Against you also my glittering sword is drawn from its sheath; it is sharpened and polished and flashes like lightning. ²⁹ Your magicians and false prophets have told you lies of safety and success—that your gods will save you from the king of Babylon. Thus they have caused your death along with all the other wicked, for when the day of final reckoning has come, you will be wounded unto death. ³⁰ Shall I return my sword to its sheath before I deal with you? No, I will destroy you in your own country where you were born.
