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,(A) to flash like lightning.
29
While they offer false visions(B)
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.(a)
30
Return it to its sheath!(C)


I will judge you(b)
in the place where you were created,
in the land of your origin.
31
I will pour out My indignation on you;
I will blow the fire of My fury on you.(D)
I will hand you over to brutal men,
skilled at destruction.
32
You will be fuel for the fire.
Your blood will be spilled in the land.
You will not be remembered,(E)
for I, Yahweh, have spoken.”
