1 ¶ And thou,² sonº of man,º takeºª thee a sharpº knife,º takeºª thee a barber'sº razor,º and cause [it] to passºª upon² thine headº and upon² thy beard:º then takeºª thee balancesº to weigh,º and divideºª the [hair]. 2 Thou shalt burnºª with fireº a third partº in the midstº of the city,º when the daysº of the siegeº are fulfilled:ºª and thou shalt takeºª² a third part,º [and] smiteºª aboutº it with a knife:º and a third partº thou shalt scatterºª in the wind;º and I will draw outºª a swordº afterº them. 3 Thou shalt also takeºª thereof²² a fewº in number,º and bindºª them in thy skirts.º 4 Then take² of² them again,¹ª² and castºª them into² the midstº of the fire,º and burnºª them in the fire;º [for] thereof² shall a fireº come forthºª into² all² the houseº of Israel.º

is shewed the judgment of Jerusalem for their rebellion,

5 ¶ Thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º This² [is] Jerusalem:º I have setºª it in the midstº of the nationsº and countriesº [that are] round aboutº her. 6 And she hath changedºª² my judgmentsº into wickednessº more than² the nations,º and my statutesº more than² the countriesº that² [are] round aboutº her: for² they have refusedºª my judgmentsº and my statutes,º they have not² walkedºª in them. 7 Therefore² thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Because² ye multipliedºª more than² the nationsº that² [are] round aboutº you, [and] have not² walkedºª in my statutes,º neither² have keptºª my judgments,º neither² have doneºª according to the judgmentsº of the nationsº that² [are] round aboutº you; 8 Therefore² thus² saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Behold,² I, even² I,² [am] against² thee, and will executeºª judgmentsº in the midstº of thee in the sightº of the nations.º 9 And I will doºª in thee² that which² I have not² done,ºª and whereunto² I will not² doºª any more² the like,² because¹ of² all² thine abominations.º 10 Therefore² the fathersº shall eatºª the sonsº in the midstº of thee, and the sonsº shall eatºª their fathers;º and I will executeºª judgmentsº in thee, and² the whole² remnantº of thee will I scatterºª into all² the winds.º 11 Wherefore,² [as] I² live,º saithºª the Lordº GOD;º Surely,²² because² thou hast defiledºª² my sanctuaryº with all² thy detestable things,º and with all² thine abominations,º therefore² will I² also diminishºª [thee]; neither² shall mine eyeº spare,ºª neither² will I² have any pity.ºª

by famine, sword, and dispersion.

12 ¶ A third partº of thee shall dieºª with the pestilence,º and with famineº shall they be consumedºª in the midstº of thee: and a third partº shall fallºª by the swordº round aboutº thee; and I will scatterºª a third partº into all² the winds,º and I will draw outºª a swordº afterº them. 13 Thus shall mine angerº be accomplished,ºª and I will cause my furyº to restºª upon them, and I will be comforted:ºª and they shall knowºª that² I² the LORDº have spokenºª [it] in my zeal,º when I have accomplishedºª my furyº in them. 14 Moreover I will makeºª thee waste,º and a reproachº among the nationsº that² [are] round aboutº thee, in the sightº of all² that pass by.ºª 15 So it shall be² a reproachº and a taunt,º an instructionº and an astonishmentº unto the nationsº that² [are] round aboutº thee, when I shall executeºª judgmentsº in thee in angerº and in furyº and in furiousº rebukes.º I² the LORDº have spokenºª [it]. 16 When I shall sendºª upon them the² evilº arrowsº of famine,º which² shall be² for [their] destruction,º [and] which² I will sendºª² to destroyºª you: and I will increaseºª the famineº upon² you, and will breakºª your staffº of bread:º 17 So will I sendºª upon² you famineº and evilº beasts,º and they shall bereaveºª thee; and pestilenceº and bloodº shall pass² through¹ª thee; and I will bringºª the swordº upon² thee. I² the LORDº have spokenºª [it].
