Ezekiel 21:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Also thou son of man, appoint thee [a]two ways, that the sword of the King of Babel may come: both twain shall come out of one land, and choose a place, and choose it in the corner of the way of the city.
20 Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbah of the Ammonites, and [b]to Judah in Jerusalem the strong city.
21 And the King of Babel stood at the [c]parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, consulting by divination, and made his arrows bright: he consulted with idols, and looked in [d]the liver.
