Ezekiel 5:7-11 (English Standard Version)
7
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you are 1more turbulent than the nations that are all around you, 2and have not walked in my statutes or obeyed my rules, 3and have nota even acted according to the rules of the nations that are all around you,
8
therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I, even I, 4am against you. 5And I will execute judgmentsb in your midst 6in the sight of the nations.
9
And because of all your abominations I will do with you 7what I have never yet done, and the like of which I will never do again.
10
Therefore 8fathers shall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers. 9And I will execute judgments on you, 10and any of you who survive I will scatter to all the winds.
11
Therefore, 11as I live, declares the Lord GOD, surely, 12because you have defiled my sanctuary 13with all your detestable things and with all your 14abominations, 15therefore I will withdraw.c16My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity.
