Ezekiel 21:25-27

Expanded Bible

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]. ²⁷ A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin! ·This place will not be rebuilt [or The kingdom will not be restored] until the one comes ·who has a right to be king [to whom judgment belongs; Gen. 49:10]. Then I will give ·him that right [it to him].’
