Ezekiel 21:21-23

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²¹ For the king of Babylon stands at the split in the road, at the fork of the two roads, to practise divination: he shakes the arrows, consults the idols, and observes the liver. ²² The answer marked^[a] Jerusalem appears in his right hand, indicating that he should set up battering rams,^(A) give the order to^[b] slaughter, raise a battle cry, set battering rams against the gates, build a ramp, and construct a siege wall. ²³ It will seem like false divination to those who have sworn an oath to the Babylonians,^[c](B) but it will draw attention to their guilt so that they will be captured.
