A sword of the slain is it, the great sword of the slain whirling around them,—

That hearts may fail, and many be the fallen in all their gates.


It is made like lightning, furbished for slaughter!

(iv) Vv. 21, 22.

Gather thee together! Smite to the right, to the left,

Whithersoever thine edge is appointed!

And I also will smite hand on hand,

And appease My wrath:

I Jehovah have spoken it.
