Ezekiel 21:20-22
Lexham English Bible

20 You must mark a road for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the Ammonites[a] and to Judah, in Jerusalem the fortified. 21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork of the road at the head of the two roads to practice divination. He shakes the arrows,[b] he inquires with the teraphim, he examines[c] the liver. 22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to put up battering rams, to open a mouth for slaughter,[d] to raise the battle cry,[e] to put up battering rams against gates, to build a siege ramp, to build siege works.[f]
