'Sword of the Lord' in the Bible

either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the Lord, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the Lord destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.’ Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him who sent me.”

The sword of the Lord is filled with blood,It is sated with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats,With the fat of the kidneys of rams.For the Lord has a sacrifice in BozrahAnd a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

“On all the bare heights in the wildernessDestroyers have come,For a sword of the Lord is devouringFrom one end of the land even to the other;There is no peace for anyone.

“Ah, sword of the Lord,How long will you not be quiet?Withdraw into your sheath;Be at rest and stay still.
