27

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

28

And 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:

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Destruction / Perishing Language

The verse describes a future state of being "upon the necks of them that are slain" and mentions "whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end," which implies a past or impending destruction, but does not explicitly use the "destruction/perishing language" listed in the theme definition.

Punishment Language

The verse describes the outcome of false prophecies and divinations, focusing on the deception itself and its consequence for the deceived, rather than explicitly stating a divine act of punishment.

Time-Bound Fulfillment

The verse speaks of a "day is come" and an end to "iniquity," which indicates a point in time, but it does not provide any specific duration or recognizable markers for when that time will arrive or how it will be recognized.
