“And you, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach.”
God now turns His attention on the children of Ammon and the way they will reproach and deride defeated Jerusalem, and plan to inflict misery on them. They too will suffer disaster. Between these small nations there was a continual love-hate relationship.
“And say,
‘A sword, a sword is drawn for the slaughter, it is polished.
To cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning.'
Once again we have a warsong, this time depicted as sung by Ammon, for the command comes for them to sheathe their sword (Ezekiel 21:30 a) to await God's judgment.
