²² He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
    and he is marked for the sword.

²⁵ Your men shall fall by the sword
    and your mighty men in battle.

¹² I will destine you to the sword,
    and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
^(A)because, when I called, you did not answer;
    when I spoke, you did not listen,
^(B)but you did what was evil in my eyes
    and chose what I did not delight in.”

¹⁶ For ^(A)by fire ^(B)will the Lord enter into judgment,
    and by his sword, with all flesh;
    and those slain by the Lord shall be many.
