And you, sonH1121 of man,H120 takeH3947 you a sharpH2299 knife,H2719 takeH3947 you a barber'sH1532 razor,H8593 and cause it to passH5674 on your headH7218 and on your beard:H2206 then takeH3947 you balancesH3976 to weigh,H4948 and divideH2505 the hair.
2
You shall burnH1197 with fireH217 a thirdH7992 part in the middleH8432 of the city,H5892 when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilled:H4390 and you shall takeH3947 a thirdH7992 part, and smiteH5221 aboutH5439 it with a knife:H2719 and a thirdH7992 part you shall scatterH2219 in the wind;H7307 and I will drawH7324 out a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
3
You shall also takeH3947 thereof a fewH4592 in number,H4557 and bindH6887 them in your skirts.H3671
4
Then takeH3947 of them again,H5750 and castH7993 them intoH413 the middleH8432 of the fire,H784 and burnH8313 them in the fire;H784 for thereof shall a fireH784 comeH3318 forthH3318 intoH413 allH3605 the houseH1004 of Israel.H3478
5
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 ThisH2063 is Jerusalem:H3389 I have setH7760 it in the middleH8432 of the nationsH1471 and countriesH776 that are roundH5439 about her.
6
And she has changedH4171 my judgmentsH4941 into wickednessH7564 moreH4481 thanH4480 the nations,H1471 and my statutesH2708 moreH4481 thanH4480 the countriesH776 that are roundH5439 about her: for they have refusedH3988 my judgmentsH4941 and my statutes,H2708 they have not walkedH1980 in them.
7
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 BecauseH3282 you multipliedH1995 moreH4481 thanH4480 the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 about you, and have not walkedH1980 in my statutes,H2708 neitherH3808 have keptH6213 my judgments,H4941 neitherH3808 have doneH6213 according to the judgmentsH4941 of the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 about you;
8
ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saidH559 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Behold,H2005 I, evenH1571 I, am againstH5921 you, and will executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 in the middleH8432 of you in the sightH5869 of the nations.H1471
9
And I will doH6213 in you that whichH834 I have not done,H6213 and whereuntoH834 I will not doH6213 any moreH5750 the like,H3644 becauseH3282 of allH3605 your abominations.H8441
10
ThereforeH3651 the fathersH1 shall eatH398 the sonsH1121 in the middleH8432 of you, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398 their fathers;H1 and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in you, and the wholeH3605 remnantH7611 of you will I scatterH2219 into allH3605 the winds.H7307
11
Why,H3651 as I live,H2416 saidH5002 the LordH136 GOD;H3069 Surely,H518 H3808 becauseH3282 you have defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 with allH3605 your detestableH8251 things, and with allH3605 your abominations,H8441 therefore will I alsoH1571 diminishH1639 you; neitherH1571 shall my eyeH5869 spare,H2347 neitherH3808 will I have any pity.H2550
12
A thirdH7992 part of you shall dieH4191 with the pestilence,H1698 and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the middleH8432 of you: and a thirdH7992 part shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 roundH5439 about you; and I will scatterH2219 a thirdH7992 part into allH3605 the winds,H7307 and I will drawH7324 out a swordH2719 afterH310 them.
13
Thus shall my angerH639 be accomplished,H3615 and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117 on them, and I will be comforted:H5162 and they shall knowH3045 that I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it in my zeal,H7068 when I have accomplishedH3615 my furyH2534 in them.
14
Moreover I will makeH5414 you waste,H2723 and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 about you, in the sightH5869 of allH3605 that passH5674 by.
15
So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a taunt,H1422 an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH8047 to the nationsH1471 that are roundH5439 about you, when I shall executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 in you in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in furiousH2534 rebukes.H8433 I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
16
When I shall sendH7971 on them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famine,H7458 whichH834 shall be for their destruction,H4889 and whichH834 I will sendH7971 to destroyH7843 you: and I will increaseH3254 the famineH7458 on you, and will breakH7665 your staffH4294 of bread:H3899
17
So will I sendH7971 on you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beasts,H2416 and they shall bereaveH7921 you: and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall passH5674 through you; and I will bringH935 the swordH2719 on you. I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it.
