Ezekiel 5 (WEBP)

[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.’”

Ezekiel 5 (KJVS)

[1] And thou, son of man, take () thee a sharp knife, take () thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass () upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take () thee balances to weigh, and divide () the hair.
[2] Thou shalt burn () with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: () and thou shalt take () a third part, and smite () about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter () in the wind; and I will draw out () a sword after them.
[3] Thou shalt also take () thereof a few in number, and bind () them in thy skirts.
[4] Then take of them again, () and cast () them into the midst of the fire, and burn () them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth () into all the house of Israel.
[5] Thus saith () the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set () it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
[6] And she hath changed () my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused () my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked () in them.
[7] Therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Because ye multiplied () more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked () in my statutes, neither have kept () my judgments, neither have done () according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
[8] therefore thus saith () the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute () judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
[9] And I will do () in thee that which I have not done, () and whereunto I will not do () any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
[10] 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 the whole remnant of thee will I scatter () into all the winds.
[11] Wherefore, as I live, saith () the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled () my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish () thee; neither shall mine eye spare, () neither will I have any pity. ()
[12] A third part of thee shall die () with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed () in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall () by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter () a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out () a sword after them.
[13] Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, () and I will cause my fury 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 have accomplished () my fury in them.
[14] Moreover I will make () thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. ()
[15] So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute () judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord have spoken () it.
[16] When I shall send () upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send () to destroy () you: and I will increase () the famine upon you, and will break () your staff of bread:
[17] so will I send () upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave () thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through () thee; and I will bring () the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken () it.

Ezekiel 5 (BYZ)

[1] και συ υιε ανθρωπου λαβε σεαυτω ρομφαιαν οξειαν υπερ ξυρον κουρεως κτηση αυτην σεαυτω και επαξεις αυτην επι την κεφαλην σου και επι τον πωγωνα σου και λημψη ζυγον σταθμιων και διαστησεις αυτους
[2] το τεταρτον εν πυρι ανακαυσεις εν μεση τη πολει κατα την πληρωσιν των ημερων του συγκλεισμου και λημψη το τεταρτον και κατακαυσεις αυτο εν μεσω αυτης και το τεταρτον κατακοψεις εν ρομφαια κυκλω αυτης και το τεταρτον διασκορπισεις τω πνευματι και μαχαιραν εκκενωσω οπισω αυτων
[3] και λημψη εκειθεν ολιγους εν αριθμω και συμπεριλημψη αυτους τη αναβολη σου
[4] και εκ τουτων λημψη ετι και ριψεις αυτους εις μεσον του πυρος και κατακαυσεις αυτους εν πυρι εξ αυτης εξελευσεται πυρ και ερεις παντι οικω ισραηλ
[5] ταδε λεγει κυριος αυτη η ιερουσαλημ εν μεσω των εθνων τεθεικα αυτην και τας κυκλω αυτης χωρας
[6] και ερεις τα δικαιωματα μου τη ανομω εκ των εθνων και τα νομιμα μου εκ των χωρων των κυκλω αυτης διοτι τα δικαιωματα μου απωσαντο και εν τοις νομιμοις μου ουκ επορευθησαν εν αυτοις
[7] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ανθ ων η αφορμη υμων εκ των εθνων των κυκλω υμων και εν τοις νομιμοις μου ουκ επορευθητε και τα δικαιωματα μου ουκ εποιησατε αλλ ουδε κατα τα δικαιωματα των εθνων των κυκλω υμων ου πεποιηκατε
[8] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος ιδου εγω επι σε και ποιησω εν μεσω σου κριμα ενωπιον των εθνων
[9] και ποιησω εν σοι α ου πεποιηκα και α ου ποιησω ομοια αυτοις ετι κατα παντα τα βδελυγματα σου
[10] δια τουτο πατερες φαγονται τεκνα εν μεσω σου και τεκνα φαγονται πατερας και ποιησω εν σοι κριματα και διασκορπιω παντας τους καταλοιπους σου εις παντα ανεμον
[11] δια τουτο ζω εγω λεγει κυριος ει μη ανθ ων τα αγια μου εμιανας εν πασιν τοις βδελυγμασιν σου καγω απωσομαι σε ου φεισεται μου ο οφθαλμος καγω ουκ ελεησω
[12] το τεταρτον σου εν θανατω αναλωθησεται και το τεταρτον σου εν λιμω συντελεσθησεται εν μεσω σου και το τεταρτον σου εις παντα ανεμον σκορπιω αυτους και το τεταρτον σου εν ρομφαια πεσουνται κυκλω σου και μαχαιραν εκκενωσω οπισω αυτων
[13] και συντελεσθησεται ο θυμος μου και η οργη μου επ αυτους και επιγνωση διοτι εγω κυριος λελαληκα εν ζηλω μου εν τω συντελεσαι με την οργην μου επ αυτους
[14] και θησομαι σε εις ερημον και τας θυγατερας σου κυκλω σου ενωπιον παντος διοδευοντος
[15] και εση στενακτη και δηλαιστη εν τοις εθνεσιν τοις κυκλω σου εν τω ποιησαι με εν σοι κριματα εν εκδικησει θυμου μου εγω κυριος λελαληκα
[16] εν τω εξαποστειλαι με τας βολιδας μου του λιμου επ αυτους και εσονται εις εκλειψιν και συντριψω στηριγμα αρτου σου
[17] και εξαποστελω επι σε λιμον και θηρια πονηρα και τιμωρησομαι σε και θανατος και αιμα διελευσονται επι σε και ρομφαιαν επαξω επι σε κυκλοθεν εγω κυριος λελαληκα
