and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and the unrighteous.

and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate- they are given up to the slaughter of the sword; it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.

For I will sharpen My sword like lightning, and My hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to My enemies, and will recompense them that hate Me.

And if they should go into captivity before the face of their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them; and I will set My eyes against them for evil, and not for good.

God is a righteous Judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.

In that day God shall bring [His] holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent; He shall destroy the dragon.

My sword has been made drunk in heaven; behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and with judgment upon the people doomed to destruction.

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is glutted with fat, with the blood of goats and lambs, and with the fat of goats and rams; for the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in Edom.
