Dual Panel1And thou, son <01121> of man <0120>_, take <03947> (8798) thee a sharp <02299> knife <02719>_, take <03947> (8799) thee a barber's <01532> razor <08593>_, and cause [it] to pass <05674> (8689) upon thine head <07218> and upon thy beard <02206>_: then take <03947> (8804) thee balances <03976> to weigh <04948>_, and divide <02505> (8765) the [hair].
2Thou shalt burn <01197> (8686) with fire <0217> a third part <07992> in the midst <08432> of the city <05892>_, when the days <03117> of the siege <04692> are fulfilled <04390> (8800)_: and thou shalt take <03947> (8804) a third part <07992>_, [and] smite <05221> (8686) about <05439> it with a knife <02719>_: and a third part <07992> thou shalt scatter <02219> (8799) in the wind <07307>_; and I will draw out <07324> (8686) a sword <02719> after <0310> them.
3Thou shalt also take <03947> (8804) thereof a few <04592> in number <04557>_, and bind <06696> (8804) them in thy skirts <03671>_. {skirts: Heb. wings}
4Then take of them again <03947> (8799)_, and cast <07993> (8689) them into the midst <08432> of the fire <0784>_, and burn <08313> (8804) them in the fire <0784>_; [for] thereof shall a fire <0784> come forth <03318> (8799) into all the house <01004> of Israel <03478>_.
5Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; This [is] Jerusalem <03389>_: I have set <07760> (8804) it in the midst <08432> of the nations <01471> and countries <0776> [that are] round about <05439> her.
6And she hath changed <04784> (8686) my judgments <04941> into wickedness <07564> more than the nations <01471>_, and my statutes <02708> more than the countries <0776> that [are] round about <05439> her: for they have refused <03988> (8804) my judgments <04941> and my statutes <02708>_, they have not walked <01980> (8804) in them.
7Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Because ye multiplied <01995> (8800) more than the nations <01471> that [are] round about <05439> you, [and] have not walked <01980> (8804) in my statutes <02708>_, neither have kept <06213> (8804) my judgments <04941>_, neither have done <06213> (8804) according to the judgments <04941> of the nations <01471> that [are] round about <05439> you;
8Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute <06213> (8804) judgments <04941> in the midst <08432> of thee in the sight <05869> of the nations <01471>_.
9And I will do <06213> (8804) in thee that which I have not done <06213> (8804)_, and whereunto I will not do <06213> (8799) any more the like, because <03282> of all thine abominations <08441>_.
10Therefore the fathers <01> shall eat <0398> (8799) the sons <01121> in the midst <08432> of thee, and the sons <01121> shall eat <0398> (8799) their fathers <01>_; and I will execute <06213> (8804) judgments <08201> in thee, and the whole remnant <07611> of thee will I scatter <02219> (8765) into all the winds <07307>_.
11Wherefore, [as] I live <02416>_, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>_; Surely, because thou hast defiled <02930> (8765) my sanctuary <04720> with all thy detestable things <08251>_, and with all thine abominations <08441>_, therefore will I also diminish <01639> (8799) [thee]; neither shall mine eye <05869> spare <02347> (8799)_, neither will I have any pity <02550> (8799)_.
12A third part <07992> of thee shall die <04191> (8799) with the pestilence <01698>_, and with famine <07458> shall they be consumed <03615> (8799) in the midst <08432> of thee: and a third part <07992> shall fall <05307> (8799) by the sword <02719> round about <05439> thee; and I will scatter <02219> (8762) a third part <07992> into all the winds <07307>_, and I will draw out <07324> (8686) a sword <02719> after <0310> them.
13Thus shall mine anger <0639> be accomplished <03615> (8804)_, and I will cause my fury <02534> to rest <05117> (8689) upon them, and I will be comforted <05162> (8694)_: and they shall know <03045> (8804) that I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) [it] in my zeal <07068>_, when I have accomplished <03615> (8763) my fury <02534> in them.
14Moreover I will make <05414> (8799) thee waste <02723>_, and a reproach <02781> among the nations <01471> that [are] round about <05439> thee, in the sight <05869> of all that pass by <05674> (8802)_.
15So it shall be a reproach <02781> and a taunt <01422>_, an instruction <04148> and an astonishment <04923> unto the nations <01471> that [are] round about <05439> thee, when I shall execute <06213> (8800) judgments <08201> in thee in anger <0639> and in fury <02534> and in furious <02534> rebukes <08433>_. I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) [it].
16When I shall send <07971> (8762) upon them the evil <07451> arrows <02671> of famine <07458>_, which shall be for [their] destruction <04889>_, [and] which I will send <07971> (8763) to destroy <07843> (8763) you: and I will increase <03254> (8686) the famine <07458> upon you, and will break <07665> (8804) your staff <04294> of bread <03899>_:
17So will I send <07971> (8765) upon you famine <07458> and evil <07451> beasts <02416>_, and they shall bereave <07921> (8765) thee; and pestilence <01698> and blood <01818> shall pass through <05674> (8799) thee; and I will bring <0935> (8686) the sword <02719> upon thee. I the LORD <03068> have spoken <01696> (8765) [it].
