EZEKIEL 21:22–22:7 Remove crown. One with right comes 1086
hasaskedbymeansoftheteraphim;
a he has looked into the liver.
22 In his right hand the
divination proved to be for Jerusalem,
to set battering rams, b to
open one’s mouth for a slaying,
to raise the sound in an alarm
signal, c to set battering rams
against gates, to throw up a siege
rampart, to build a siege wall. d
23 And it has become to them
like an untrue divination in their
eyes e —those who are sworn with
oaths to them; f and he is calling
error to remembrance, g in order
for them to be caught. h
24 “Therefore this is what the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said,
‘By reason of YOUR causing YOUR
error to be remembered by YOUR
transgressions being uncovered,
in order that YOUR sins may be
seen according to all YOUR dealings,
by reason of YOUR being
called to remembrance i YOU people
will be seized even by the
hand.’ j
25 “And as for you, O deadly
wounded, wicked chieftain k of
Israel, l whose day has come in
the time of the error of the end, m
26 this is what the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah has said, ‘Remove
the turban, and lift off
the crown. n This will not be the
same. o Put on high even what is
low, p and bring low even the high
one. q 27 A ruin, a ruin, a ruin
I shall make it. r As for this also,
it will certainly become no one’s
until he comes who has the legal
right, s and I must give it to him.’ t
28 “And you, O son of man,
prophesy, and you must say,
‘ThisiswhattheSovereignLord
Jehovah has said concerning the
sons of Ammon and concerning
the reproach from them.’ And
you must say, ‘A sword, a sword
drawn for a slaughter, polished
to cause it to devour, in order to
glitter, u 29 because of their beholding
for you an unreality, because
of their divining for you a
lie, v in order to put you on the

And the word of Jehovah
continued to occur to
me, saying: 2 “And as for you,
O son of man, will you judge, g
will you judge the bloodguilty
city h and certainly cause her to
know all her detestable things? i
3 And you must say, ‘This is
what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
has said: “O city that is shedding
blood j in her midst till her
time comes, k and that has made
dungy idols within herself in order
