Fight... by menaces - Is this correct?

Hi

I have a sentence: "And they shall fight against thee”: By words and blows, by menaces and imprisonment.

Is the word 'menaces' appropriate here?

Please help.


Thank you

writingtosms Is the word 'menaces' appropriate here? Since you're using 'shall' and 'thee', it seems you're writing a historical novel, so yes, in that case 'menaces' is fine. ) CJ

(It would probably be 'threats' in ordinary conversation.)
