< Ezekiel 5 >
1 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] 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 And you will take from there a few in number and you will confine them in skirts your.
4 And some of them again you will take and you will throw them into [the] middle of the fire and you will burn them in the fire from it it will go out a fire to all [the] house of Israel.
5 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 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 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 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 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 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 [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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
