The Prophecy
of Ezechiel 5
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife that shaveth
the hair: and cause it to pass over thy head, and over
thy beard: and take thee a balance to weigh in, and
divide the hair.
A third part thou shalt burn with fire in the midst
of the city, according to the fulfilling of the days
of the siege: and thou shalt take a third part, and
cut it in pieces with the knife all round about: and
the other third part thou shalt scatter in the wind,
and I will draw out the sword after them.
And thou shalt take thereof a small number: and shalt
bind them in the skirt of thy cloak.
And thou shalt take of them again, and shalt cast them
in the midst of the fire, and shalt burn them with fire:
and out of it shall come forth a fire into all the house
of Israel.
Thus saith the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, I have set
her in the midst of the nations, and the countries round
about her.
And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more
wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more
than the countries that are round about her: for they
have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my
commandments.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you have
surpassed the Gentiles that are round about you, and
have not walked in my commandments, and have not kept
my judgments, and have not done according to the judgments
of the nations that are round about you:
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold I come against
thee, and I myself will execute judgments in the midst
of thee in the sight of the Gentiles.
And I will do in thee that which I have not done: and
the like to which I will do no more, because of all
thy abominations.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst
of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers: and I
will execute judgments in thee, and I will scatter thy
whole remnant into every wind.
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord God : Because thou
hast violated my sanctuary with all thy offences, and
with ail thy abominations: I will also break thee in
pieces, and my eye shall not spare, and I will not have
any pity.
A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence,
and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee:
and a third part of thee shall fall by the sword round
about thee: and a third part of thee will I scatter
into every wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
And I will accomplish my fury, and will cause my indignation
to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they
shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal,
when I shall have accomplished my indignation in them.
And I will make thee desolate, and a reproach among
the nations that are round about thee, in the sight
of every one that passeth by.
And thou shalt be a reproach, and a scoff, an example,
and an astonishment amongst the nations that are round
about thee, when I shall have executed judgments in
thee in anger, and in indignation, and in wrathful rebukes.
I the Lord have spoken it: When I shall send upon them
the grievous arrows of famine, which shall bring death,
and which I will send to destroy you: and I will gather
together famine against you: and I will break among
you the staff of bread.
And I will send in upon you famine, and evil beasts
unto utter destruction: and pestilence, and blood shall
pass through thee, and I will bring in the sword upon
thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
