Ezekiel 21:20-22
New American Standard Bible
20 You shall [a]mark a way for the sword to come to (A)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and to Judah into (B)fortified Jerusalem. 21 For the king of Babylon stands at the [b]parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use (C)divination; he (D)shakes the arrows, he consults the [c](E)household idols, he looks at the liver. 22 Into his right hand came the divination, ‘Jerusalem,’ to (F)set up battering rams, to open the mouth [d]for [e]slaughter, to raise the voice with a battle cry, to set up battering rams against the gates, to pile up assault ramps, to build a siege wall.

New International Version
20 Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites(A) and another against Judah and fortified Jerusalem. 21 For the king of Babylon will stop at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He will cast lots(B) with arrows, he will consult his idols,(C) he will examine the liver.(D) 22 Into his right hand will come the lot for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to give the command to slaughter, to sound the battle cry,(E) to set battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp(F) and to erect siege works.(G)
