¹⁵ So that hearts may melt with fear^(A)
    and the fallen be many,
I have stationed the sword for slaughter^[a]
    at all their gates.
Look! It is forged to strike like lightning,
    it is grasped for slaughter.^(B)

“‘A sword,^(B) a sword,
    drawn for the slaughter,
polished to consume
    and to flash like lightning!
