Ezekiel 21:21-23

21For the king of Babylon stands at the 1parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use 2divination; he 3shakes the arrows, he consults the 45household idols, he looks at the liver. 22Into his right hand came the divination, ‘Jerusalem,’ to 6set battering rams, to open the mouth 7for slaughter, to lift up the voice with a battle cry, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up ramps, to build a siege wall. 23And it will be to them like a false divination in their eyes; 8they have sworn solemn oaths. But he 9brings iniquity to remembrance, that they may be seized.
