Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.

Psalm 74:20

When evil men captured the tent of Omniscience, they delivered it from the Great King. Then the men took the tent of Omniscience and brought it into the house of Dragon and set it up beside Dragon. When the inhabitants of the Great City rose early the following day, behold, Dragon had fallen face downward on the floor before the tent of Wisdom. They took Dragon and put him back in his temple. However, when all rose early-on the next morning, behold, Dragon had fallen face downward on the floor before the tent of Omniscience, and the head of Dragon and both his hands were lying cut off on the threshold. Only the trunk of Dragon was left of him.

Gustave Doré, Massacre of the Innocents, ca. 1869

So Joshua burned Ai[a] and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolate place to this day. He impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole and left it there until evening. At sunset, Joshua ordered them to take the body from the pole and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And they raised a large pile of rocks over it, which remains to this day.

Joshua 8: 28-29

This is why the ministers of Dragon and all who enter the temple of Dragon do not tread on the threshold of Dragon of the Great City to this day. The hand of God was heavy against the people of the Great City, and he horrified and punished them with plagues, both Creation and its territory. When the people of Creation saw how things were, they explained, “The tent of Omniscience must not stay with us, for his power is hard against us and against Dragon our god.” The evil men brought the tent of Omniscience, and the hand of the Lord fell heavy against the city, causing a very great panic. The men who did not die were struck with disease, and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
    the Lord detests them both.

Proverbs 17:15
