1And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a sharpH2299 knifeH2719, takeH3947 thee a barber’sH1532 razorH8593, and cause it to passH5674 upon thine headH7218 and upon thy beardH2206: then takeH3947 thee balancesH3976 to weighH4948, and divideH2505 the hair. 2Thou shalt burnH1197 with fireH217 a third partH7992 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilledH4390: and thou shalt takeH3947 a third partH7992, and smiteH5221 aboutH5439 it with a knifeH2719: and a third partH7992 thou shalt scatterH2219 in the windH7307; and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them. 3Thou shalt also takeH3947 thereof a fewH4592 in numberH4557, and bindH6696 them in thy skirtsH3671.1 4Then take of them againH3947, and castH7993 them into the midstH8432 of the fireH784, and burnH8313 them in the fireH784; for thereof shall a fireH784 come forthH3318 into all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

5Thus saithH559 the LordH136 YhwhH3069; This is JerusalemH3389: I have setH7760 it in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471 and countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her.
