Ezekiel 5

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 And thou, son of man, take a sharp knife, take a barber’s razor, and cause <em>it</em> to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard; then take balances to weigh, and divide the <em>hair</em>.

2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part <em>and</em> smite about it with a knife; and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number and bind them in the skirt of thy garment.

4 Then take of them again and cast them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire; <em>for</em> thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

5 Thus hath the Lord GOD said: This <em>is</em> Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the Gentiles and of the lands <em>that are</em> round about her.

6 And she has changed my judgments and my statutes into wickedness more than the Gentiles and more than the lands that <em>are</em> round about her; for they have disregarded my judgments and my commandments and have not walked in them.

7 Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Because <em>I</em> multiplied you more than the Gentiles that <em>are</em> round about you, ye have not walked in my commandments, neither have ye kept my judgments. Ye have not even acted according to the judgments of the Gentiles that <em>are</em> round about you.

8 Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, I, even I, <em>am</em> against thee and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the Gentiles.

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done and whereunto I will not do any more the like because of all thine abominations.

10 For the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee I will scatter into all the winds.

11 Therefore, <em>as</em> I live, said the Lord GOD, surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy contaminations and with all thine abominations, therefore I will also destroy <em>thee</em>; neither shall my eye forgive, neither will I have mercy.

12 A third part of thee shall die of pestilence, and shall be consumed with famine in the midst of thee, and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee, and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to cease in them, and I will be comforted; and they shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken <em>it</em> in my zeal when I have accomplished my fury in them.

14 And I will make thee a desert and a reproach among the Gentiles that <em>are</em> round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

15 And thou shalt be a reproach and a dishonour, and a chastisement and a terror unto the Gentiles that <em>are</em> round about thee when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for <em>their</em> destruction <em>and</em> which I will send to destroy you, then I will increase the famine upon you and will destroy your sustenance of bread.

17 So I will send upon you famine and evil beasts that will destroy thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I, the LORD, have spoken.

New International Version NIV

1 “Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair.

2 When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword.

3 But take a few hairs and tuck them away in the folds of your garment.

4 Again, take a few of these and throw them into the fire and burn them up. A fire will spread from there to all Israel.

5 “This is what the Sovereign LORD says: This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.

6 Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees more than the nations and countries around her. She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees.

7 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: You have been more unruly than the nations around you and have not followed my decrees or kept my laws. You have not even conformed to the standards of the nations around you.

8 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations.

9 Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.

10 Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will inflict punishment on you and will scatter all your survivors to the winds.

11 Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images and detestable practices, I myself will shave you; I will not look on you with pity or spare you.

12 A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword.

13 “Then my anger will cease and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be avenged. And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the LORD have spoken in my zeal.

14 “I will make you a ruin and a reproach among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

15 You will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and an object of horror to the nations around you when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath and with stinging rebuke. I the LORD have spoken.

16 When I shoot at you with my deadly and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut off your supply of food.

17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the LORD have spoken.”
