I will make mine arrowsª drunkª° with blood,ª¹ and my swordª shall devourª° flesh;ª [and that] with the bloodª¹ of the slainª and of the captives,ª from the beginningª¹ of revengesª upon the enemy.ª°" {Deu 32:41-42} + "It is drawn,ª° and cometh outª° of the body;ª¹ yea, the glittering swordª cometh¹ out²° of his gall:ª¹ terrorsª [are] upon¹ him." {Job 20:25} + "For¹ by fireª and by his swordª will the LORDª pleadª° with¹ all¹ flesh:ª and the slainª of the LORDª shall be many.ª°" {Isa 66:16} + "The spoilersª° are comeª° upon¹ all¹ high placesª through the wilderness:ª for¹ the swordª of the LORDª shall devourª° from the [one] endª¹ of the landª even to¹ the [other] endª of the land:ª no¹¹ fleshª shall have peace.ª" {Jer 12:12} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ if¹ they sayª° unto¹ thee, Whither¹ shall we go forth?ª° then thou shalt tellª°¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Such as¹ [are] for death,ª to death;ª and such as¹ [are] for the sword,ª to the sword;ª and such as¹ [are] for the famine,ª to the famine;ª and such as¹ [are] for the captivity,ª to the captivity.ª" {Jer 15:2} + "And though¹ they go²°¹ into captivityª beforeª their enemies,ª° thence¹¹ will I commandª°¹ the sword,ª and it shall slayª° them: and I will setª° mine eyesª upon¹ them for evil,ª and not¹ for good.ª" {Ams 9:4}
