25And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

28And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
29Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
About Ezekiel 21: The Sword of Judgment
In Ezekiel chapter 21, God speaks to the prophet about the sword of judgment that will come upon Jerusalem and the disobedient people of Israel. He uses vivid imagery to describe the sword and the destruction it will cause, warning the people to repent and turn back to Him before it is too late.
Commentary
This chapter serves as a strong reminder that disobedience to God will have consequences. The sword of judgment represents the punishment that will come because of the people's disobedience and lack of faith. However, it is also a message of hope, as God gives the people a chance to repent and turn back to Him before it is too late. The vivid imagery used in this chapter is a powerful tool in conveying the seriousness of the situation and the urgency of the message. As we read Ezekiel chapter 21, let us take heed of the warning given and strive to always follow God's will for our lives.
