Ax » Figurative
"Babylon, you are my war club, my weapon for battle. I used you to smash nations. I used you to destroy kingdoms.
Egypt will run away, hissing like a snake, as the enemy comes marching up in force. They will come against her with axes as if they were woodsmen chopping down trees.
Even now the ax is laid at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
