1. And thou[H1121], son of man[H120], take[H3947] thee a sharp[H2299] sword[H2719]; as a barber[H1532]'s razor[H8593] shalt thou take[H3947] it unto thee[H5674], and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head[H7218] and upon thy beard[H2206]: then take[H3947] thee balances[H3976] to weigh[H4948], and divide the hair[H2505].

2. A third part[H7992] shalt thou burn[H1197] in the fire[H217] in the midst[H8432] of the city[H5892], when the days[H3117] of the siege[H4692] are fulfilled[H4390]; and thou shalt take[H3947] a third part[H7992], and smite[H5221] with the sword[H2719] round about[H5439] it[H7992]; and a third part thou shalt scatter[H2219] to the wind[H7307], and I will draw out[H7324] a sword[H2719] after them[H310].

3. And thou shalt take[H3947] thereof a few[H4592] in number[H4557], and bind[H6696] them in thy skirts[H3671].

4. And of these again[H3947] shalt thou take[H7993], and cast them into the midst[H8432] of the fire[H784], and burn[H8313] them in the fire[H784]; therefrom shall a fire[H784] come forth[H3318] into all the house[H1004] of Israel[H3478].

5. Thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: This is Jerusalem[H3389]; I have set[H7760] her in the midst[H8432] of the nations[H1471], and countries[H776] are round about her[H5439].

6. And she hath rebelled[H4784] against mine ordinances[H4941] in doing wickedness[H7564] more than the nations[H1471], and against my statutes[H2708] more than the countries[H776] that are round about[H5439] her[H3988]; for they have rejected mine ordinances[H4941], and as for my statutes[H2708], they have not walked in them[H1980].

7. Therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069]: Because ye are turbulent[H1995] more than the nations[H1471] that are round about[H5439] you[H1980], and have not walked in my statutes[H2708], neither have kept[H6213] mine ordinances[H4941], neither have done[H6213] after the ordinances[H4941] of the nations[H1471] that are round about you[H5439];

8. therefore thus saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136]: Behold[H6213], I, even I, am against thee; and I will execute judgments[H4941] in the midst[H8432] of thee in the sight[H5869] of the nations[H1471].

9. And I will do[H6213] in thee that which I have not done[H6213], and whereunto I will not do[H6213] any more the like[H3282], because of all thine abominations[H8441].

10. Therefore the fathers[H1] shall eat[H398] the sons[H1121] in the midst[H8432] of thee[H1121], and the sons shall eat[H398] their fathers[H1]; and I will execute[H6213] judgments[H8201] on thee[H7611]; and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter[H2219] unto all the winds[H7307].

11. Wherefore[H2416], as I live, saith[H5002] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H136], surely[H2930], because thou hast defiled my sanctuary[H4720] with all thy detestable things[H8251], and with all thine abominations[H8441], therefore will I also diminish[H1639] thee[H5869]; neither shall mine eye spare[H2347], and I also will have no pity[H2550].

12. A third part[H7992] of thee shall die[H4191] with the pestilence[H1698], and with famine[H7458] shall they be consumed[H3615] in the midst[H8432] of thee[H7992]; and a third part shall fall[H5307] by the sword[H2719] round about[H5439] thee[H7992]; and a third part I will scatter[H2219] unto all the winds[H7307], and will draw out[H7324] a sword[H2719] after them[H310].

13. Thus shall mine anger[H639] be accomplished[H3615], and I will cause my wrath[H2534] toward them to rest[H5117], and I shall be comforted[H5162]; and they shall know[H3045] that I[H3068], Jehovah, have spoken[H1696] in my zeal[H7068], when I have accomplished[H3615] my wrath upon them[H2534].

14. Moreover I will make[H5414] thee a desolation[H2723] and a reproach[H2781] among the nations[H1471] that are round about[H5439] thee[H5869], in the sight of all that pass by[H5674].

15. So it shall be a reproach[H2781] and a taunt[H1422], an instruction[H4148] and an astonishment[H4923], unto the nations[H1471] that are round about[H5439] thee[H6213], when I shall execute judgments[H8201] on thee in anger[H639] and in wrath[H2534], and in wrathful[H2534] rebukes[H8433]; (I[H3068], Jehovah, have spoken it[H1696]😉

16. when I shall send[H7971] upon them the evil[H7451] arrows[H2671] of famine[H7458], that are for destruction[H4889], which I will send[H7971] to destroy[H7843] you[H3254]: and I will increase the famine[H7458] upon you[H7665], and will break your staff[H4294] of bread[H3899];

17. and I will send[H7971] upon you famine[H7458] and evil[H7451] beasts[H2416], and they shall bereave[H7921] thee[H1698]; and pestilence and blood[H1818] shall pass through[H5674] thee[H935]; and I will bring the sword[H2719] upon thee[H3068]: I, Jehovah, have spoken it[H1696].
