Ezekiel 21:21-23

New American Standard Bible 1995

²¹ For the king of Babylon stands at the ^[a]parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use ^(A)divination; he ^(B)shakes the arrows, he consults the ^[b](C)household idols, he looks at the liver. ²² Into his right hand came the divination, ‘Jerusalem,’ to ^(D)set battering rams, to open the mouth ^[c]for slaughter, to lift up the voice with a battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up ramps, to build a siege wall. ²³ And it will be to them like a false divination in their eyes; ^(E)they have sworn solemn oaths. But he ^(F)brings iniquity to remembrance, that they may be seized.
