Then you shall takeH3947 oneH7992 thirdH7992 and strikeH5221 it with the swordH2719 allH5439 aroundH5439 2the city, and oneH7992 thirdH7992 you shall scatterH2219 to the windH7307; and I will 3unsheatheH7385 a swordH2719 behindH310 them. 3TakeH3947 also a fewH4592 in numberH4557 from 4them and bindH6696 them in the edgesH3671 of your robes. 4TakeH3947 againH5750 someH4480 of them and throwH7993 them into the fireH784 and burnH8313 them in the fireH784; from it a fireH784 will 5spreadH3318 to allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

5“ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 6GodH3068, ‘ThisH2088 is 7JerusalemH3389; I have setH7760 her at the 8centerH8432 of the nationsH1471, with landsH776 aroundH5439 her. 6But she has rebelledH4784 againstH854 My ordinancesH4941 moreH4480 wickedlyH7564 thanH4480 the nationsH1471 and againstH854 My statutesH2708 9moreH4480 thanH4480 the landsH776 whichH834 surroundH5439 her; for they have 10rejectedH3988 My ordinancesH4941 and have not walkedH1980 11in My statutesH2708.’ 7ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BecauseH3282 you have 12moreH4480 turmoilH2001 thanH4480 the nationsH1471 whichH834 surroundH5439 you and have not walkedH1980 in My statutesH2708, norH3808 observedH6213 My ordinancesH4941, norH3808 observedH6213 the ordinancesH4941 of the nationsH1471 whichH834 surroundH5439 you,’ 8thereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BeholdH2009, I, evenH1571 I, am 13againstH5921 you, and I will 14executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 amongH8432 you in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471. 9And becauseH3282 of allH3605 your abominationsH8441, I will doH6213 among you whatH834 I have 15not doneH6213, and the likeH3644 of whichH834 I will neverH3808 doH6213 againH5750. 10ThereforeH3651, 16fathersH1 will eatH398 their sonsH1121 amongH8432 you, and sonsH1121 will eatH398 their fathersH1; for I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on you and 17scatterH2219 allH3605 your remnantH7611 to everyH3605 windH7307. 11SoH3651 as I liveH2416,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘surelyH518 H3808, becauseH3282 you have 18defiledH2930 My sanctuaryH4720 with allH3605 your 19detestableH8251 idolsH8251 and with allH3605 your abominationsH8441, therefore I will alsoH1571 withdrawH1639, and My eyeH5869 will haveH2347 noH3808 pityH2347 and I will not spareH2550. 12OneH7992 thirdH7992 of you will dieH4191 by 20plagueH1698 or be consumedH3615 by famineH7458 amongH8432 you, oneH7992 thirdH7992 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719 aroundH5439 you, and oneH7992 thirdH7992 I will 21scatterH2219 to everyH3605 windH7307, and I will 22unsheatheH7385 a swordH2719 behindH310 them.
