And you O son of humankind take yourself - a sword sharp razor of barbers you will take it yourself and you will make [it] pass over head your and over beard your and you will take yourself scales of weight and you will divide them.
2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
A third [part] in the fire you will burn in [the] midst of the city when are completed [the] days of the siege and you will take third [part] you will strike [it] with the sword around it and third [part] you will disperse to the wind and a sword I will draw after them.
3 You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
And you will take from there a few in number and you will confine them in skirts your.
4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel."

5 "Thus says the LORD: 'This is Jerusalem; I have placed her at the center of the nations, and countries are around her.
Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh this [is] Jerusalem in [the] middle of the nations I have set it and [are] around it lands.
6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.'
And it has rebelled against judgments my to wickedness more than the nations and statutes my more than the lands which [are] around it for judgments my they have rejected and statutes my not they have walked in them.
7 "Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Because you are turbulent more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you';
Therefore thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh because tumult your [is] more than the nations which [are] around you in statutes my not you have walked and judgments my not you have observed and according to [the] judgments of the nations which [are] around you not you have done.
8 therefore thus says the LORD: 'Look, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] on you also I and I will bring about in [the] midst of you judgments to [the] eyes of the nations.
9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
And I will bring about in you [that] which not I have brought about and [that] which not I will do like it again because of all abominations your.
10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.'
Therefore parents they will eat children in [the] midst of you and children they will eat parents their and I will bring about on you judgments and I will disperse all [the] rest of you to every wind.
11 "'Therefore as I live,' says the LORD, 'surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not because sanctuary my you have made unclean by all detestable things your and by all abominations your and also I I will shave [you] and not it will look with compassion eye my and also I not I will show pity.
12 A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part shall fall by the sword around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
third [part] of You by pestilence they will die and by famine they will come to an end in [the] midst of you and third [part] by the sword they will fall around you and third [part] to every wind I will disperse and a sword I will draw after them.
13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
And it will be spent anger my and I will give rest to rage my on them and I will gain relief and they will know that I Yahweh I have spoken in jealousy my when complete I rage my on them.
14 Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
And I will make you into a ruin and into a reproach among the nations which [are] around you to [the] eyes of every [one who] passes by.
15 And you shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; I, the LORD, have spoken;
And it will be a reproach and a taunt a warning and a horror to the nations which [are] around you when bring about I on you judgments in anger and in rage and with rebukes of rage I Yahweh I have spoken.
16 when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;
When shoot I [the] arrows of famine harmful on them which they will be for destruction which I will shoot them to destroy you and famine I will increase on you and I will break of you staff of bread.
17 and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, the LORD, have spoken it.'"
And I will send on you famine and animal[s] wild and they will make childless you and pestilence and blood it will pass in you and sword I will bring on you I Yahweh I have spoken.
