A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.
A sword is coming for all the liars, and they're going to lose their minds. A sword is coming for all their strongest warriors too, and they'll be absolutely terrified.
When judgment comes, even the loudest liars and strongest fighters won't be able to handle it.
