What Does Ezekiel 21:29 Mean?
'They see vanity unto thee' and 'divine a lie unto thee' indicate that the Ammonites trust in false assurances—perhaps from their own divines and prophets who promise safety. These false prophecies will not save them.
'To bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain' is a vivid image: their own necks will join those already fallen. The Ammonites' day of judgment arrives; their iniquity, like Israel's, has reached its appointed end.
