Ezekiel 21:24-27

New International Version

²⁴ “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do—because you have done this, you will be taken captive.

²⁵ “‘You profane and wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come,^(A) whose time of punishment has reached its climax,^{(B) 26} this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Take off the turban, remove the crown.^(C) It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low.^{(D) 27} A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! The crown will not be restored until he to whom it rightfully belongs shall come;^(E) to him I will give it.’^(F)
