Ezekiel 5:2-4

2One third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city, when the 1days of the siege are completed. Then you shall take one third and strike it with the sword all around 2the city, and one third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will 3unsheathe a sword behind them. 3Take also a few in number from 4them and bind them in the edges of your robes. 4Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will 5spread to all the house of Israel.
