1. In those days shall fathers be struck down with their children in the
presence of each other;[273] and brethren with their brethren shall fall
dead: until a river shall flow from their blood.
2. For a man shall not restrain his hand from his children, nor from his
children’s children; his mercy will be to kill them.[274]
3. Nor shall the sinner restrain his hand from his honoured brother.
From the dawn of day to the setting sun shall the slaughter
continue.[275] The horse shall wade up to his breast, and the chariot
shall sink to its axle,[276] in the blood of sinners.
