Ezekiel 5:10-17

10Therefore, 1fathers will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and 2scatter all your remnant to every wind. 11So as I live,’ declares the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have 3defiled My sanctuary with all your 4detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity and I will not spare. 12One third of you will die by 5plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will 6scatter to every wind, and I will 7unsheathe a sword behind them.

13‘Thus My anger will be spent and I will 8satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be 910appeased; then they will know that I, the Lord, have 11spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them. 14Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a 12reproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15So 13it will be a reproach, a reviling, a 14warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I 15execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16When I send against them the 16deadly arrows of famine which 17were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread. 17Moreover, 18I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; 19plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’”
