Ezekiel 21:23-25

New Century Version

²³ The people of Jerusalem have made agreements with other nations to help them fight Babylon. So they will think this prediction is wrong, but it is really proof of their sin, and they will be captured.

²⁴ “So this is what the Lord God says: ‘You have shown how sinful you are by turning against the Lord. Your sins are seen in all the things you do. Because of this proof against you, you will be taken captive by the enemy.

²⁵ “‘You unclean and evil leader of Israel, you will be killed! The time of your final punishment has come.
