5:1Yehezkel’s Yerushalem model

5Then you, humanity’s child, take a sharp sword as a barber’s razor for yourself, and use it to shave your head and beard, then get some scales so you can weigh your hair and divide it equally into three piles. 2Burn a third of it in the middle of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take the second pile of hair and hit it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter the final third to the wind, and I’ll draw out a sword to chase after the people. 3But take a few hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe. 4Then take a bit more of the hair and throw it into the middle of the fire to be burnt up—from there a fire will spread out to all the Israeli people.”

5My master Yahweh says, “That brick model is Yerushalem where I’ve placed her in the middle of the nations, and where I have surrounded her with other countries. 6But due to her wickedness, she’s rejected my decrees more than other nations have, and avoided my regulations more than the countries that surround her. Her people have rejected my judgements and haven’t followed my regulations.” 7Therefore my master` Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you, and haven’t followed my statutes or acted according to my regulations, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,” 8therefore my master Yahweh says this, “Listen, I myself will work against you. I’ll execute judgements in the middle of you for the other nations to see. 9Because of your detestable actions, I’ll do things to you that I’ve never done before, and which I’ll never do again: 10Fathers will eat the children among you, and sons will eat their fathers, since I’ll execute judgement on you and scatter all of you who’re left in every direction.[ref]

11This is my master Yahweh’s declaration: As I live, it’s certainly because you’ve defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all the disgusting things you’ve done, that I myself will reduce you in number—I won’t have pity on you, and I won’t spare you. 12A third of you will die by plague, plus they’ll be consumed by a famine that affects you. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I’ll scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.

13Then my rage will be over, and I’ll relax my fury at them. I’ll be satisfied, and they’ll know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my rage and I’ve completed my furious punishment of them. 14I’ll make you into a city of ruins so that those from other nations will mock you as they pass by. 15So Yerushalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock—a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I’ll execute judgments against you in rage and fury, and with an angry rebuke. I, Yahweh have declared that. 16I’ll send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you, because I’ll make the famine more severe and destroy your food supply. 17I’ll send a famine and disasters against you so you’ll be childless. Plague and bloodshed will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, Yahweh, have declared that.[ref]
