1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's ra­zor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee bal­ances to weigh, and di­vide the hair. 2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are ful­filled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scat­ter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword af­ter them. 3 Thou shalt also take there­of a few in num­ber, and bind them in thy skirts. 4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for there­of shall a fire come forth into all the house of Is­rael. 5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the na­tions and coun­tries that are round about her. 6 And she hath changed my judg­ments into wicked­ness more than the na­tions, and my statutes more than the coun­tries that are round about her: for they have re­fused my judg­ments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. 7 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­cause ye mul­ti­plied more than the na­tions that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, nei­ther have kept my judg­ments, nei­ther have done ac­cord­ing to the judg­ments of the na­tions that are round about you; 8 There­fore thus saith the Lord GOD; Be­hold, I, even I, am against thee, and will ex­e­cute judg­ments in the midst of thee in the sight of the na­tions. 9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and where­un­to I will not do any more the like, be­cause of all thine abom­i­na­tions. 10 There­fore the fa­thers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fa­thers; and I will ex­e­cute judg­ments in thee, and the whole rem­nant of thee will I scat­ter into all the winds. 11 Where­fore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Sure­ly, be­cause thou hast de­filed my sanc­tu­ary with all thy de­testable things, and with all thine abom­i­na­tions, there­fore will I also di­min­ish thee; nei­ther shall mine eye spare, nei­ther will I have any pity. 12 A third part of thee shall die with the pesti­lence, and with famine shall they be con­sumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scat­ter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword af­ter them. 13 Thus shall mine anger be ac­com­plished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be com­fort­ed: and they shall know that I the LORD have spo­ken it in my zeal, when I have ac­com­plished my fury in them. 14 More­over I will make thee waste, and a re­proach among the na­tions that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 15 So it shall be a re­proach and a taunt, an in­struc­tion and an as­ton­ish­ment unto the na­tions that are round about thee, when I shall ex­e­cute judg­ments in thee in anger and in fury and in fu­ri­ous re­bukes. I the LORD have spo­ken it. 16 When I shall send upon them the evil ar­rows of famine, which shall be for their de­struc­tion, and which I will send to de­stroy you: and I will in­crease the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: 17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall be­reave thee; and pesti­lence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spo­ken it.
