They are thrown to the sword along with my people. Therefore beat your breast.“‘ Testing will surely come.

Let the sword strike twice, even three times. It is a sword for slaughter— a sword for great slaughter, closing in on them from every side.So that hearts may melt with fear and the fallen be many, I have stationed the sword for slaughter at all their gates. Look! It is forged to strike like lightning, it is grasped for slaughter.Slash to the right, you sword, then to the left, wherever your blade is turned. (niv)
