^[1] “You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair. ^[2] A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. ^[3] You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe. ^[4] Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel. ^[5] “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her. ^[6] She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’ ^[7] “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you; ^[8] therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations. ^[9] I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations. ^[10] Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds. ^[11] Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I will have no pity. ^[12] A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them. ^[13] “ ‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them. ^[14] “ ‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by. ^[15] So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, Yahweh, have spoken it— ^[16] when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread. ^[17] I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’ ”

^[1] And thou, sonH1121 of man,H120 takeH3947(QalImpv) thee a sharpH2299 knife,H2719 takeH3947(QalImpf) thee a barber’sH1532 razor,H8593 and cause [it] to passH5674(HiphPerf) upon thine headH7218 and upon thy beard:H2206 then takeH3947(QalPerf) thee balancesH3976 to weigh,H4948 and divideH2505(PielPerf) the [hair]. ^[2] Thou shalt burnH1197(HiphImpf) with fireH217 a third partH7992 in the midstH8432 of the city,H5892 when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilled:H4390(QalInf) and thou shalt takeH3947(QalPerf) a third part,H7992 [and] smiteH5221(HiphImpf) aboutH5439 it with a knife:H2719 and a third partH7992 thou shalt scatterH2219(QalImpf) in the wind;H7307 and I will draw outH7324(HiphImpf) a swordH2719 afterH310 them. ^[3] Thou shalt also takeH3947(QalPerf) thereof a fewH4592 in number,H4557 and bindH6696(QalPerf) them in thy skirts.H3671 ^[4] Then take of them again,H3947(QalImpf) and castH7993(HiphPerf) them into the midstH8432 of the fire,H784 and burnH8313(QalPerf) them in the fire;H784 [for] thereof shall a fireH784 come forthH3318(QalImpf) into all the houseH1004 of Israel.H3478 ^[5] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 This [is] Jerusalem:H3389 I have setH7760(QalPerf) it in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471 and countriesH776 [that are] round aboutH5439 her. ^[6] And she hath changedH4784(HiphImpf) my judgmentsH4941 into wickednessH7564 more than the nations,H1471 and my statutesH2708 more than the countriesH776 that [are] round aboutH5439 her: for they have refusedH3988(QalPerf) my judgmentsH4941 and my statutes,H2708 they have not walkedH1980(QalPerf) in them. ^[7] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Because ye multipliedH1995(QalInf) more than the nationsH1471 that [are] round aboutH5439 you, [and] have not walkedH1980(QalPerf) in my statutes,H2708 neither have keptH6213(QalPerf) my judgments,H4941 neither have doneH6213(QalPerf) according to the judgmentsH4941 of the nationsH1471 that [are] round aboutH5439 you; ^[8] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will executeH6213(QalPerf) judgmentsH4941 in the midstH8432 of thee in the sightH5869 of the nations.H1471 ^[9] And I will doH6213(QalPerf) in thee that which I have not done,H6213(QalPerf) and whereunto I will not doH6213(QalImpf) any more the like, becauseH3282 of all thine abominations.H8441 ^[10] Therefore the fathersH1 shall eatH398(QalImpf) the sonsH1121 in the midstH8432 of thee, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398(QalImpf) their fathers;H1 and I will executeH6213(QalPerf) judgmentsH8201 in thee, and the whole remnantH7611 of thee will I scatterH2219(PielPerf) into all the winds.H7307 ^[11] Wherefore, [as] I live,H2416 saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God;H3069 Surely, because thou hast defiledH2930(PielPerf) my sanctuaryH4720 with all thy detestable things,H8251 and with all thine abominations,H8441 therefore will I also diminishH1639(QalImpf) [thee]; neither shall mine eyeH5869 spare,H2347(QalImpf) neither will I have any pity.H2550(QalImpf) ^[12] A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191(QalImpf) with the pestilence,H1698 and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615(QalImpf) in the midstH8432 of thee: and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307(QalImpf) by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and I will scatterH2219(PielImpf) a third partH7992 into all the winds,H7307 and I will draw outH7324(HiphImpf) a swordH2719 afterH310 them. ^[13] Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplished,H3615(QalPerf) and I will cause my furyH2534 to restH5117(HiphPerf) upon them, and I will be comforted:H5162(HithPerf) and they shall knowH3045(QalPerf) that I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696(PielPerf) [it] in my zeal,H7068 when I have accomplishedH3615(PielInf) my furyH2534 in them. ^[14] Moreover I will makeH5414(QalImpf) thee waste,H2723 and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that [are] round aboutH5439 thee, in the sightH5869 of all that pass by.H5674(QalActPtc) ^[15] So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a taunt,H1422 an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH4923 unto the nationsH1471 that [are] round aboutH5439 thee, when I shall executeH6213(QalInf) judgmentsH8201 in thee in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in furiousH2534 rebukes.H8433 I the LordH3068 have spokenH1696(PielPerf) [it]. ^[16] When I shall sendH7971(PielImpf) upon them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famine,H7458 which shall be for [their] destruction,H4889 [and] which I will sendH7971(PielInf) to destroyH7843(PielInf) you: and I will increaseH3254(HiphImpf) the famineH7458 upon you, and will breakH7665(QalPerf) your staffH4294 of bread:H3899 ^[17] So will I sendH7971(PielPerf) upon you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beasts,H2416 and they shall bereaveH7921(PielPerf) thee; and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall pass throughH5674(QalImpf) thee; and I will bringH935(HiphImpf) the swordH2719 upon thee.
