A Sword Against the Ammonites

The sword, the sword is drawn,
    furbished for the slaughter,
to cause it to consume
    that it may be like lightning,
29 while they see vanity for you,
    while they divine a lie to you
to bring you upon the necks
    of the wicked who are slain,

    in the time of the punishment of the end.

30 Return it to its sheath.
    I will judge you
in the place where you were created,
    in the land of your nativity.
