Ezekiel 21:21-23

New Catholic Bible

²¹ For the king of Babylon will stand at the fork where the two roads divide to seek an omen. He will shake the arrows, consult the household gods, and inspect the liver. ²² Into his right hand the arrow marked Jerusalem will fall. Here, then, he will issue the command for slaughter, sound the battle cry, post battering rams at the gates, cast up siege-ramps, and build siege-towers. ²³ The inhabitants who have sworn allegiance^[a] to him will believe that this is a false omen, but he will remind them of their guilt and take them captive.
