Ezekiel 21:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ Ezekiel, tell the people of Jerusalem and their ruler that I, the Lord God, am saying:

Everything you do is wicked and shows how sinful you are. You are guilty and will be taken away as prisoners.

²⁵ And now, you evil and wicked ruler of Israel, your day of final punishment is almost here. ²⁶ I, the Lord God, command you to take off your royal turban and your crown, because everything will be different. Those who had no power will be put in charge, and those who now rule will become nobodies.
