Ezekiel 21:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 And thou [a]Prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
26 Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the [b]diadem, and take off the crown: this shall be no more the same: I will exalt the humble, and will abase him that is high.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it, and it shall be no more until he [c]come, whose right it is, and I will give it him.

New International Version
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)
