Ezekiel 21:26

NETBible

this is what the sovereign Lord says: Tear off the turban, 1  take off the crown! Things must change! 2  Exalt the lowly, bring down the proud! 3 

NIV ©

this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Take off the turban, remove the crown. It will not be as it was: The lowly will be exalted and the exalted will be brought low.

NASB ©

thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Remove the turban and take off the crown; this will no longer be the same. Exalt that which is low and abase that which is high.

NLT ©

Take off your jeweled crown, says the Sovereign LORD. The old order changes––now the lowly are exalted, and the mighty are brought low.

MSG ©

GOD says, Take your royal crown off your head. No more "business as usual." The underdog will be promoted and the top dog will be demoted.

BBE ©

This is what the Lord has said: Take away the holy head-dress, take off the crown: this will not be again: let that which is low be lifted up, and that which is high be made low.

NRSV ©

thus says the Lord GOD: Remove the turban, take off the crown; things shall not remain as they are. Exalt that which is low, abase that which is high.

NKJV ©

‘thus says the Lord GOD: "Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.

this is what the sovereign Lord says: Tear off the turban, 1  take off the crown! Things must change! 2  Exalt the lowly, bring down the proud! 3 

NET Notes

1 tn Elsewhere in the Bible the turban is worn by priests (Exod 28:4, 37, 39; 29:6; 39:28, 31; Lev 8:9; 16:4), but here a royal crown is in view.

2 tn Heb “This not this.”

3 tn Heb “the high one.”
