Therefore beat your thigh.
“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD. 2Co 8:2Ezk 21:10Ezk 21:25Job 9:23

The LORD’s word came to me again, saying, “Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city. Ezk 4:1-3Jer 1:10Ezk 5:1-17 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
