Book 26 : EZEKIEL - Chapter 005
005:001
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
005:002
Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in
thy skirts
005:003
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
005:004
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
005:005
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
005:006
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
005:007
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
005:008
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
005:009
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
005:010
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
005:011
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
005:012
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
005:013
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
005:014
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
005:015
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
005:016
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
