27. Ruins! Ruins! I will turn this place into ruins! It will not be restored until its rightful owner comes. Then I will give it to him.
28. “Son of man, prophesy. Tell them, ‘This is what the Almighty Lord says about the Ammonites and their insults:A sword, a sword is drawn ready to kill.It’s polished to destroy and flash like lightning.
29. People see false visions about youand prophesy lies about you.The sword will be placed on the necks of dishonest, wicked people,for whom the time of final punishment has come.
30. “‘Return your sword to its scabbard.In the place where you were created,in the land where you were born,there I will judge you.
31. I will pour out my fury on youand breathe on you with my fiery anger.I will hand you over to cruel people who are skilled in destruction.
32. You will be fuel for the fire.You will die in the land.You will no longer be remembered.I, the Lord, have spoken.’ ”
