It is a symbol of divine chastisement (Deuteronomy 32:25; Psalm 7:12; 78:62 ), and of a slanderous tongue (Psalm 57:4; 64:3; Proverbs 12:18 ). The word of God is likened also to a sword (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17; Revelation 1:16 ). Gideon's watchword was, "The sword of the Lord" (Judges 7:20 ).
