Dual Panel1"As for you, son<1121> of man<120>, take<3947> a sharp<2299> sword<2719>; take<3947> and use<5674> it as a barber's<1532> razor<8593> on your head<7218> and beard<2206>. Then take<3947> scales<3976> for weighing<4948> and divide<2505> the hair.
2"One<7992> third<7992> you shall burn<1197> in the fire<217> at the center<8432> of the city<5892>, when the days<3117> of the siege<4692> are completed<4390>. Then you shall take<3947> one<7992> third<7992> and strike<5221> it with the sword<2719> all<5439> around<5439> the city, and one<7992> third<7992> you shall scatter<2219> to the wind<7307>; and I will unsheathe<7385> a sword<2719> behind<310> them.
3"Take<3947> also a few<4592> in number<4557> from them and bind<6696> them in the edges<3671> of your robes.
4"Take<3947> again<5750> some<4480> of them and throw<7993> them into the fire<784> and burn<8313> them in the fire<784>; from it a fire<784> will spread<3318> to all<3605> the house<1004> of Israel<3478>.
5"Thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, 'This<384> is Jerusalem<3389>; I have set<7760> her at the center<8432> of the nations<1471>, with lands<776> around<5439> her.
6'But she has rebelled<4784> against<854> My ordinances<4941> more<4480> wickedly<7564> than<4480> the nations<1471> and against<854> My statutes<2708> more<4480> than<4480> the lands<776> which<834> surround<5439> her; for they have rejected<3988> My ordinances<4941> and have not walked<1980> in My statutes<2708>.'
7"Therefore<3651>, thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, 'Because<3282> you have more<4480> turmoil<2001> than<4480> the nations<1471> which<834> surround<5439> you and have not walked<1980> in My statutes<2708>, nor<3808> observed<6213> My ordinances<4941>, nor<3808> observed<6213> the ordinances<4941> of the nations<1471> which<834> surround<5439> you,'
8therefore<3651>, thus<3541> says<559> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, 'Behold<2009>, I, even<1571> I, am against<5921> you, and I will execute<6213> judgments<4941> among<8432> you in the sight<5869> of the nations<1471>.
9'And because<3282> of all<3605> your abominations<8441>, I will do<6213> among you what<834> I have not done<6213>, and the like<3644> of which<834> I will never<3808> do<6213> again<5750>.
10'Therefore<3651>, fathers<1> will eat<398> their sons<1121> among<8432> you, and sons<1121> will eat<398> their fathers<1>; for I will execute<6213> judgments<8201> on you and scatter<2219> all<3605> your remnant<7611> to every<3605> wind<7307>.
11'So<3651> as I live<2416>,' declares<5002> the Lord<136> GOD<3068>, 'surely<518><3808>, because<3282> you have defiled<2930> My sanctuary<4720> with all<3605> your detestable<8251> idols<8251> and with all<3605> your abominations<8441>, therefore I will also<1571> withdraw<1639>, and My eye<5869> will have<2347> no<3808> pity<2347> and I will not spare<2550>.
12'One<7992> third<7992> of you will die<4191> by plague<1698> or be consumed<3615> by famine<7458> among<8432> you, one<7992> third<7992> will fall<5307> by the sword<2719> around<5439> you, and one<7992> third<7992> I will scatter<2219> to every<3605> wind<7307>, and I will unsheathe<7385> a sword<2719> behind<310> them.
13'Thus My anger<639> will be spent<3615> and I will satisfy<5117> My wrath<2534> on them, and I will be appeased<5162>; then they will know<3045> that I, the LORD<3068>, have spoken<1696> in My zeal<7068> when I have spent<3615> My wrath<2534> upon them.
14'Moreover, I will make<5414> you a desolation<2723> and a reproach<2781> among the nations<1471> which<834> surround<5439> you, in the sight<5869> of all<3605> who pass<5674> by.
15'So it will be a reproach<2781>, a reviling<1422>, a warning<4148> and an object<4923> of horror<4923> to the nations<1471> who<834> surround<5439> you when I execute<6213> judgments<8201> against you in anger<639>, wrath<2534> and raging<2534> rebukes<8433>. I, the LORD<3068>, have spoken<1696>.
16'When I send<7971> against them the deadly<7451> arrows<2671> of famine<7458> which<834> were for the destruction<7843> of those whom<834> I will send<7971> to destroy<7843> you, then I will also intensify<3254> the famine<7458> upon you and break<7665> the staff<4294> of bread<3899>.
17'Moreover, I will send<7971> on you famine<7458> and wild<7451> beasts<2421>, and they will bereave<7921> you of children<7921>; plague<1698> and bloodshed<1818> also will pass<5674> through you, and I will bring<935> the sword<2719> on you. I, the LORD<3068>, have spoken<1696>.'"
