1 And you, son of man, take you a sharp knife, take you a barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon your head and upon your beard: then take you balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
2 You will burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and you will take a third part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part you will scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 You will also take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] of it will a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 Thus says 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 has 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 says the Lord GOD; Because you 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 says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am] against you, and will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
9 And I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
10 Therefore the fathers will eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons will eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and the whole remnant of you will I scatter into all the winds.
11 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord GOD; Surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish [you]; neither will my eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and with famine will they be consumed in the midst of you: and a third part will fall by the sword round about you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 Thus will my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they will know that I the LORD [Yahweh] have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
14 Moreover I will make you waste, and a reproach among the nations that [are] round about you, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations that [are] round about you, when I will execute judgments in you in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD [Yahweh] have spoken [it].
16 When I will send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which will 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 will bereave you; and pestilence and blood will pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I the LORD [Yahweh] have spoken [it].
