The
word of the
LORD came unto me again,
saying,
r{mael y;lea h'wh.y -r;b.d yih.y;w
19
Also, thou
son of
man, appoint thee
two ways, that the
sword of the
king of
Babylon may
come: both
twain shall come
forth out of
one land: and
choose thou a
place, choose it at the
head of the
way to the
city.

Appoint a
way, that the
sword may
come to
Rabbath of the
Ammonites*, and to
Judah in
Jerusalem the
defenced.

For the
king of
Babylon stood at the
parting of the
way, at the
head of the
two ways, to
use divination: he made his
arrows bright, he
consulted with
images, he
looked in the
liver.

At his right
hand was the
divination for
Jerusalem, to
appoint captains, to
open the
mouth in the
slaughter, to lift
up the
voice with
shouting, to
appoint battering
rams against the
gates, to
cast a
mount, and to
build a
fort.

And it shall be unto them as a
false divination in their
sight, to them that have
sworn oaths: but he will call to
remembrance the
iniquity, that they may be
taken.

Therefore thus
saith the
Lord GOD; Because ye have made your
iniquity to be
remembered, in that your
transgressions are
discovered, so that in all your
doings your
sins do
appear; because, I say, that ye are come to
remembrance, ye shall be
taken with the
hand.
