Ezekiel 21:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 And the King of Babel stood at the [a]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 [b]the liver.
22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem to appoint captains to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift up their voice with shouting, to lay engines of war against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fortress.
23 And it shall be unto them [c]as a false divination in their sight for the oaths made unto them: [d]but he will call to remembrance their iniquity, to the intent they should be taken.
