19 "And you, son of man,
* mark
out for yourself
* two roads for the coming of the sword of the king of Babylon; they must
⌊both
⌋* go out from the same land. And hew
out a
⌊signpost
⌋;
* hew
it at
the head of
the road of
the city.
20 You must mark a road for
the coming of
the sword
to Rabbah of the
⌊Ammonites
⌋* and
to Judah, in Jerusalem
the fortified.
21 For the king of Babylon stands at the fork of the road at the head of the two roads to practice divination.
⌊He shakes the arrows
⌋,
* he inquires with the teraphim, he
⌊examines
⌋* the liver.
22 In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to put
up battering rams, to open
a mouth for slaughter,
* ⌊to raise the battle cry
⌋,
* to put
up battering rams against gates, to build a siege ramp, to build siege works.
*
23 And it will be to them like practicing divination falsely
* in their eyes;
⌊they have sworn oaths for themselves
⌋.
* But
* he
will bring
their guilt to remembrance
so as to seize them.
