BrTrA fourth part thou shalt burn in the fire in the midst of the city, at the fulfilment of the days of the siege: and thou shalt take a fourth part, and burn it up in the midst of it: and a fourth part thou shalt cut with a sword round about it: and a fourth part thou shalt scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

ULTBurn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.

USTWhen the time during which you will symbolize that the city will be surrounded by enemy troops ends, put a third of the hair inside the drawing of the city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, scatter it all around the drawing of the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem with their enemies’ swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize that even if they flee from the city, I will still cause their enemies to pursue them and attack them with swords.

BSBWhen the days of the siege have ended, you are to burn up a third of the hair inside the city; you are also to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind. For I will unleash a sword behind them.

FBVOnce the days of the siege have finished, burn up one third of the hair inside the city;[fn] slash at another third with a sword around the city; and scatter another third in the wind. I will let loose a sword behind them to chase them.


5:2 Referring to the pictorial representation of Jerusalem that Ezekiel had drawn on the brick.

Take another third of the hair, scatter it all aroundthe drawing of the city, and then strike it with your sword.

That will symbolize thateven if they flee from the city, I will stillcause their enemies to pursue them and attack them with swords.

LEBA third you must burn with fire in the midst[fn] of the city at the completion[fn] of the days of the siege, and you must take a third, and you must strike it with the sword around it, and a third you must scatter to the wind, and I will draw a sword behind them.
