* Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cuting instrument , a barbers razor , shalt thou take thee , and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin , and shalt take the balances for weighing , and shalt divide the hair . * A third part in the fire , shalt thou burn in the midst of the city , when the days of the siege are fulfilled , and thou shalt take a third part , thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it , and a third part , shalt thou scatter to the wind , and sword , will I , make bare after then ; * and thou shalt take from thence , a few in number , and shalt bind them in thy skirts ; * and of them , again take , and cast them into the midst of the fire , and burn them in the fire ,-therefrom , shall go forth a fire unto all the house of Israel . * Thus , saith My Lord , Yahweh , This , is Jerusalem , In the midst of the nations , I placed her , and of the countries round about her ; * But she hath changed my regulations rote lawlessness , more than the nations , And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her , For my regulations , have they rejected , And in my statutes , have they not walked . Therefore , * Thus saith My Lord , Yahweh . Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you , In My statutes , have not walked . And my regulations , have not done , And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you , have not done : * Therefore , Thus , saith My Lord Yahweh , Lo ! I am against thee , even I , Therefore will I , execute in thy midst , judgments , in the eyes of the nations ; * Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed , And like unto which I will not execute again ,- Because of all thine abominations . * Therefore , fathers will eat sons in thy midst , And sons will eat fathers , And I will execute upon thee judgments , And will scatter the whole remnant of thee , to every wind . * Therefore as live , Declareth My Lord Yahweh , Surely because my sanctuary , thou hast defiled , with all thy detestable things , and with all thine abominations Even I also , will cut off , and mine eye I shall not spare , Yea even I will not pity . * The third part of thee by pestilence , shall die , and by famine , be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword , shall fall round about thee ,- And the third part to every wind , will I scatter , and a sword , will I make bare after them . * So shall mine anger have an end , And I will cause mine indignation to find rest I upon a them , and will console myself ,- And they shall know that , I , Yahweh , have spoken in my jealousy , when mine indignation hath come to an end , upon them . * And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach , among the nations that are round about thee , in the eyes of every passer-by . * So shall it become a reproach and an insult warning and an astonishment , tob the nations that are round about thee , in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation , I , Yahweh have spoken : * In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction , which I will send to destroy you , and famine , will I increase upon you , and will break for you the staff of bread . * So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee , and pestilence and blood , shall pass through thee , and a sword , will I bring in upon thee , Yahweh have spoken .
