5 “But you, son of man—take for yourself a sharp sword. As a knife of the barbers, you shall take it for yourself, and you shall pass it over your head and over your beard. And you shall take for yourself balances of weight, and you shall divide them. 2 A third, you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are full. And you shall take the third, and you shall strike it with the sword all around it, and the third you shall scatter to the wind, and a sword I will empty after them. 3 But you shall take from there a small amount in number, and you shall bind them on your two edges. 4 And some of them you shall again take, and you shall throw them into the midst of the fire, and you shall burn them in the fire. From it, a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”

5 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This, is Jerusalem; in the midst of the nations, I have placed her, and all around her are lands. 6 But she has rebelled, against my judgments with wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the lands that, are all around her. For they have rejected my judgments, and my statutes—they have not walked in them.

7 Therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because of your arrogance, more than the nations that, are all around you—in my statutes, you have not walked, and my judgments you have not done, and according to the customs of the nations that, are all around you, you have not done—8 therefore, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Look at me, against you—even me! And I will do judgments in your midst to the eyes of the nations. 9 And I will do with you that which I have not done and that which I will not do like it again, on account of all your abominations. 10 Therefore, fathers will eat sons in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers. And I will do with you judgments, and I will sow all your remainder to every wind.

11 Therefore, the life of me—a declaration of the Lord Yahweh—certainly because my sanctuary you have made unclean with all your abhorrences and with all your abominations, and so I myself will reduce, and my eye will not have pity, and even I myself will not spare. 12 A third of you by the plague will die, or by the famine they will be finished in your midst. And a third by the sword will fall all around you. And a third to every wind I will scatter, and a sword I will empty after them.

13 Then my nose will be finished, and I will pacify my heat among them, and I will soothe myself. Then they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy when I have completed my heat among them. 14 And I will make you into a desolation and into a reproach among the nations that, are all around you, to the eyes of everyone passing by. 15 So it will become a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations that, are all around you, when I do among you my judgments with nose and with heat and with reprimands of heat. I, Yahweh, have spoken! 16 When I send out the disastrous arrows of the famine among them—which will become destruction, which I will send them to destroy you—then I will increase the famine against you, and I will break for you, the staff of bread. 17 So I will send against you famine and disastrous creatures, and they will bereave you, and plague and blood will pass through you, and a sword I will bring against you. I, Yahweh, have spoken!”
