Berean Standard Bible
And
thou
, son of man, take thee
a sharp sword ;
`
as '
a barber's
razor shalt
thou
take
it
unto
thee
, and shalt
cause
it
to
pass
upon
thy
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.
A
third
part
shalt
thou
burn
in
the
fire
in
the
midst
of
the
city,
when the days of the siege are fulfilled
; and
thou
shalt
take a third part,
and smite
with the sword round
about
it
; and a third part
thou
shalt
scatter
to 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.
And
thou
shalt
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
.
And
of
these
again shalt
thou
take, and
cast
them into the midst
of
the
fire, and burn them in
the
fire;
therefrom
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 Jehovah
: This is Jerusalem ;
I have set her
in the midst
of the nations, and
countries 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
rebelled against mine
ordinances in
doing
wickedness
more than the nations, and against my statutes more
than the countries that
are
round
about
her ;
for they
have rejected mine
ordinances ,
and as
for
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 Jehovah
: Because
ye
are
turbulent
more than the nations that
are
round
about
you ,
and
have not walked in my statutes ,
neither
have
kept mine
ordinances, neither
have done
after
the ordinances 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 Jehovah
: Behold, I ,
even
I,
am against thee;
and I 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 on
thee;
and the
whole
remnant
of
thee
will
I
scatter unto
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 Jehovah,
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,
and
I also
will have
no
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 a third part
I will scatter unto
all
the
winds,
and 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 wrath toward
them to
rest
, and
I shall
be comforted;
and they shall
know that I, Jehovah
, have
spoken
in my zeal ,
when
I
have accomplished
my
wrath
upon
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
a desolation
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 on
thee
in anger and
in
wrath, and in
wrathful
rebukes;
(
I, Jehovah
, 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 ,
that
are
for
destruction ,
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.
and
I will 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, Jehovah
, 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. ”
