Context of Ezekiel 21:27

25“You dishonest and wicked prince of Israel, the time for your final punishment has come. 26This is what the Almighty Lord says: Take off your turban, and get rid of your crown. Things are going to change. Those who are unimportant will become important, and those who are important will become unimportant. 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. 29People see false visions about you and 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.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 18-32Verses 18-32 The third word of judgment. The king of Babylon‘s march upon Judaea and upon the Ammonites.

The threefold repetition denotes the awful certainty of the event; not as Rosenmuller explains, the overthrow of the three, Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, and Zedekiah; for Zedekiah alone is referred to. it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is--strikingly parallel to Ge 49:10.
