The word of the Lord came unto me again Immediately after the former; for this respects the same prophecy about the sword, and the way of its coming, and the cause of it: saying; as follows:
19
"Son of man, lay out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take. Start them from the same place. Place a signpost at the beginning of each road.
20
Post one sign to mark the road of the sword to Rabbah of the Ammonites. Post the other to mark the road to Judah and Fort Jerusalem.
