King James Version

Berean Standard Bible
And
thou
, son of man, take thee
a sharp knife
, take
thee
a barber's
razor, and cause
it
to
pass
upon
thine
head and upon
thy
beard :
then take thee
balances
to
weigh,
and divide the hair.
“As
for
you
, son of man, take a sharp sword
, use
it
as
a barber’s
razor, and shave
your
head and beard .
Then take a
set
of
scales
and divide the hair.
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,
and 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.
When the days of the siege have
ended,
you
are to
burn
up
a
third
of
the
hair
inside
the
city;
you
are
also
to
take a third and slash
it with the
sword
all
around
the
city;
and you
are
to
scatter
a third to
the wind .
For
I will unleash
a sword behind
them.
Thou
shalt
also
take thereof
a few in
number,
and bind
them in thy
skirts
.
But
you
are
to
take a few strands
of
hair
and secure
them in the
folds
of
your
garment
.
Then
take of them
again
, and
cast
them into the midst
of
the
fire, and burn them in
the
fire;
for
thereof
shall
a fire come
forth
into
all
the house of Israel.
Again,
take a
few
of these
, throw
them into the fire, and burn them .
From
there
a fire will
spread
to
the whole
house of Israel.
Thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
This is Jerusalem :
I have set it
in the midst
of the nations and
countries that
are
round
about
her.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
This is Jerusalem ,
which
I have set in the center
of the nations ,
with
countries all
around
her.
And
she hath
changed
my judgments
into
wickedness
more than the nations, and my statutes more
than the countries that
are
round
about
her :
for they
have refused
my judgments
and my
statutes,
they
have not walked in them
.
But
she has
rebelled
against
My ordinances
more wickedly
than the nations, and against
My statutes worse
than the countries around
her .
For her
people
have rejected
My ordinances
and have not walked in My
statutes
. ’
Therefore thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Because
ye
multiplied
more than the nations that
are
round
about
you ,
and
have not walked in my statutes ,
neither
have
kept my judgments
, neither
have done
according
to the judgments
of the nations that
are
round
about
you ;
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘You
have
been
more insubordinate
than the nations around
you ;
you
have not walked in My statutes or
kept My ordinances
, nor
have you
even
conformed
to the ordinances
of the nations around
you .’
Therefore thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold, I ,
even
I,
am against thee
, and will execute judgments in
the
midst
of
thee
in the sight of the nations.
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
Behold, I Myself
am against you
, Jerusalem,
and I
will execute judgments among
you
in the sight of the nations.
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
.
Because
of
all
your
abominations,
I will do to
you
what
I have never
done before
and will never
do again
.
Therefore
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
will
I
scatter into
all the
winds
.
As
a
result,
fathers among
you
will
eat their
sons, and sons will
eat their fathers .
I will execute judgments against
you
and scatter all your
remnant
to
every
wind
. ’
Wherefore,
as I live, saith
the Lord GOD ;
Surely
, because thou
hast
defiled my sanctuary with all thy
detestable things,
and with
all
thine
abominations, therefore
will
I also
diminish
thee
; neither
shall
mine
eye
spare
, neither
will I have
any
pity
.
Therefore
as surely
as
I live, declares
the Lord GOD, because you
have
defiled My sanctuary with all your
detestable idols
and abominations, I Myself
will
withdraw
My
favor
; I
will
not
look
upon
you
with
pity
, nor
will I spare
you
.
A third part
of thee
shall
die with
the
pestilence,
and
with
famine
shall
they
be consumed 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.
A third of your
people
will
die by
plague
or
be consumed by
famine
within
you,
a third will
fall by the sword outside
your
walls,
and a third I will scatter
to
every
wind
and
unleash
a sword behind
them.
Thus
shall
mine
anger be
accomplished,
and I will
cause
my fury
to
rest
upon
them, and
I will be comforted:
and they shall
know that I the LORD have
spoken
it
in my zeal ,
when
I
have accomplished
my
fury
in
them
.
And
when
My
anger is
spent
and I have
vented
My wrath
against
them, I will be appeased.
And when
I
have
spent
My
wrath
on
them,
they will
know that I ,
the LORD ,
in My zeal have spoken
.
Moreover
I will make thee
waste,
and a reproach
among the nations that
are
round
about
thee
, in the sight of all that
pass by.
I will make you
a
ruin
and a disgrace
among the nations around
you
, in the sight of all who
pass by.
So it
shall
be a reproach and a taunt, an
instruction
and an
astonishment
unto
the nations that
are
round
about
thee
, when I shall
execute judgments in
thee
in anger and in
fury and
in
furious
rebukes
. I the LORD have spoken it
.
So you
will
be a reproach and a taunt, a
warning
and a
horror
to
the nations around
you
, when I execute judgments against
you
in anger ,
wrath,
and raging
fury. I ,
the LORD ,
have spoken.
When I shall
send
upon
them
the evil
arrows of famine ,
which
shall
be
for
their
destruction,
and which
I will send to destroy you :
and
I will increase
the famine upon
you ,
and will
break
your staff
of bread:
When I shower
you
with
the deadly
arrows of famine and destruction
that
I will send to destroy you ,
I will intensify
the famine against
you and cut
off
your supply
of food.
So
will
I send upon
you
famine and evil
beasts, and they shall
bereave
thee:
and
pestilence
and blood
shall
pass
through thee;
and I will bring the
sword upon
thee
. I the LORD have spoken it
.
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 a
sword against
you
. I ,
the LORD ,
have spoken. ”
