Chapter 5

¹“As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword. Use it as a barber’s razor and pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair. ²A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city. And a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. ³And you shall take a few of them and bind them in the skirts of your robe. ⁴And of these again you shall take some and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will come out on all the house of Israel. ⁵“Thus says the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the center of the nations, with countries all around her. ⁶And she has rebelled against my rules by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries all around her; for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statutes. ⁷Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have been more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, and have not walked in my statutes or kept my rules, but have acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you, ⁸therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. ⁹And I will do with you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. ¹⁰Therefore fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers. And I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds. ¹¹Therefore, as I live, declares the Lord GOD, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will withdraw. My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity. ¹²A third part of you shall die of pestilence and be consumed by famine in your midst; a third part shall fall by the sword all around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds and will unsheathe the sword after them. ¹³Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that I am the LORD; I have spoken in my jealousy, when I spend my fury upon them. ¹⁴Moreover, I will make you a desolation and an object of reproach among the nations all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. ¹⁵You shall be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations all around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury and with furious rebukes—I am the LORD; I have spoken. ¹⁶When I send on them the deadly arrows of famine, which shall bring destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon you and break your supply of bread, ¹⁷I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will bereave you of your children. Pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I am the LORD; I have spoken.”
