And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each man his sword, and came on the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you tell the people to return from following their brethren?
Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a lowly man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be overcome.
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, in the beginning of vengeance upon the enemy.
