Context of Ezekiel 21:29
27I will overturn, overturn, overturn it! This also shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [to him]. 28And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus speaketh the Lord Jehovah concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and thou shalt say, A sword, a sword is drawn; for the slaughter is it furbished, that it may consume, that it may glitter: whilst they see vanity for thee, whilst they divine a lie unto thee, to lay thee upon the necks of the wicked that are slain, whose day is come at the time of the iniquity of the end. 30Restore [it] to its sheath. I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy birth. 31And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow upon thee the fire of my wrath, and give thee into the hand of brutish men, skilful to destroy.
