'With The Sword' in the Bible
The Lord says:I will not relent from punishing Edomfor three crimes, even four,because he pursued his brother with the sword.He stifled his compassion,his anger tore at them continually,and he harbored his rage incessantly.
I sent plagues like those of Egypt;I killed your young men with the sword,along with your captured horses.I caused the stench of your campto fill your nostrils,yet you did not return to Me.This is the Lord’s declaration.
I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said:Strike the capitals of the pillarsso that the thresholds shake;knock them down on the heads of all the people.Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.None of those who flee will get away;none of the fugitives will escape.
