And thou, son{H1121} of man,{H120} take{H3947} thee a sharp{H2299} sword;{H2719} [as] a barber's{H1532} razor{H8593} shalt thou take{H3947} it unto thee, and shalt cause it to pass{H5674} upon thy head{H7218} and upon thy beard:{H2206} then take{H3947} thee balances{H3976} to weigh,{H4948} and divide{H2505} the hair.

A third part{H7992} shalt thou burn{H1197} in the fire{H217} in the midst{H8432} of the city,{H5892} when the days{H3117} of the siege{H4692} are fulfilled;{H4390} and thou shalt take{H3947} a third part,{H7992} and smite{H5221} with the sword{H2719} round about{H5439} it; and a third part{H7992} thou shalt scatter{H2219} to the wind,{H7307} and I will draw out{H7324} a sword{H2719} after{H310} them.

And thou shalt take{H3947} thereof a few{H4592} in number,{H4557} and bind{H6696} them in thy skirts.{H3671}

And of these again{H3947} shalt thou take, and cast{H7993} them into the midst{H8432} of the fire,{H784} and burn{H8313} them in the fire;{H784} therefrom shall a fire{H784} come forth{H3318} into all the house{H1004} of Israel.{H3478}

Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} This is Jerusalem;{H3389} I have set{H7760} her in the midst{H8432} of the nations,{H1471} and countries{H776} are round about{H5439} her.

And she hath rebelled{H4784} against mine ordinances{H4941} in doing wickedness{H7564} more than the nations,{H1471} and against my statutes{H2708} more than the countries{H776} that are round about{H5439} her; for they have rejected{H3988} mine ordinances,{H4941} and as for my statutes,{H2708} they have not walked{H1980} in them.

Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Because ye are turbulent{H1995} more than the nations{H1471} that are round about{H5439} you, and have not walked{H1980} in my statutes,{H2708} neither have kept{H6213} mine ordinances,{H4941} neither have done{H6213} after the ordinances{H4941} of the nations{H1471} that are round about{H5439} you;

therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute{H6213} judgments{H4941} in the midst{H8432} of thee in the sight{H5869} of the nations.{H1471}

And I will do{H6213} in thee that which I have not done,{H6213} and whereunto I will not do{H6213} any more the like, because{H3282} of all thine abominations.{H8441}

Therefore the fathers{H1} shall eat{H398} the sons{H1121} in the midst{H8432} of thee, and the sons{H1121} shall eat{H398} their fathers;{H1} and I will execute{H6213} judgments{H8201} on thee; and the whole remnant{H7611} of thee will I scatter{H2219} unto all the winds.{H7307}

Wherefore, as I live,{H2416} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H136} surely, because thou hast defiled{H2930} my sanctuary{H4720} with all thy detestable things,{H8251} and with all thine abominations,{H8441} therefore will I also diminish{H1639} [thee]; neither shall mine eye{H5869} spare,{H2347} and I also will have no pity.{H2550}

A third part{H7992} of thee shall die{H4191} with the pestilence,{H1698} and with famine{H7458} shall they be consumed{H3615} in the midst{H8432} of thee; and a third part{H7992} shall fall{H5307} by the sword{H2719} round about{H5439} thee; and a third part{H7992} I will scatter{H2219} unto all the winds,{H7307} and will draw out{H7324} a sword{H2719} after{H310} them.

Thus shall mine anger{H639} be accomplished,{H3615} and I will cause my wrath{H2534} toward them to rest,{H5117} and I shall be comforted;{H5162} and they shall know{H3045} that I, Jehovah,{H3068} have spoken{H1696} in my zeal,{H7068} when I have accomplished{H3615} my wrath{H2534} upon them.

Moreover I will make{H5414} thee a desolation{H2723} and a reproach{H2781} among the nations{H1471} that are round about{H5439} thee, in the sight{H5869} of all that pass by.{H5674}

So it shall be a reproach{H2781} and a taunt,{H1422} an instruction{H4148} and an astonishment,{H4923} unto the nations{H1471} that are round about{H5439} thee, when I shall execute{H6213} judgments{H8201} on thee in anger{H639} and in wrath,{H2534} and in wrathful{H2534} rebukes;{H8433} (I, Jehovah,{H3068} have spoken{H1696} it;)

when I shall send{H7971} upon them the evil{H7451} arrows{H2671} of famine,{H7458} that are for destruction,{H4889} which I will send{H7971} to destroy{H7843} you: and I will increase{H3254} the famine{H7458} upon you, and will break{H7665} your staff{H4294} of bread;{H3899}

and I will send{H7971} upon you famine{H7458} and evil{H7451} beasts,{H2416} and they shall bereave{H7921} thee; and pestilence{H1698} and blood{H1818} shall pass through{H5674} thee; and I will bring{H935} the sword{H2719} upon thee: I, Jehovah,{H3068} have spoken{H1696} it.
