Berean Standard Bible
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“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
.
`And
thou
, son of man, take to
thee
a sharp weapon
, the
barber's
razor thou
dost
take
to
thee
, and thou
hast
caused
`it'
to
pass
over
thy
head ,
and over
thy
beard ,
and
thou
hast
taken
to
thee
weighing
scales ,
and apportioned
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.
A
third
part
with
fire
thou
dost
burn
in
the midst
of the city
, at
the
fulness
of the days
of
the siege
; and thou
hast
taken
the third
part,
thou
dost
smite
with
a
weapon
round
about
it
; and the
third part
thou
dost
scatter
to the wind ,
and
a weapon
I
draw
out
after
them.
But
you
are
to
take
a few strands
of
hair
and secure
them in the
folds
of
your
garment.
And
thou
hast
taken
thence
a few in
number
--
and hast
bound
them in thy
skirts;
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.
and
of them
thou
dost
take
again
, and
hast
cast
them unto
the midst
of
the
fire, and hast
burned
them in
the
fire
--
out
of
it
cometh
forth
a fire unto
all
the house of Israel.
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.
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: this `
is '
Jerusalem, In the midst
of the nations I
have
set
her
, And
round
about
her `are'
the
lands
.
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
. ’
And
she changeth
My judgments
into
wickedness
more than the nations, And My statutes more
than the lands
that
`are'
round
about
her ,
For against
My judgments
they
have
kicked,
And My
statutes
--
they
have not walked in them
.
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because
of
your
multiplying
above
the nations that
`are'
around you ,
In My statutes ye
have
not
walked
, And
My
judgments
ye
have not
done,
According
to the judgments
of the nations That
`are'
round
about
you ye
have
not
done
.
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.
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo
, I `
am '
against thee
, even
I
, And I have
done
in thy
midst
judgments,
Before
the eyes
of the nations.
Because
of
all
your
abominations,
I will
do
to
you
what
I have never
done before
and will
never
do again.
And
I have
done
in
thee
that
which
I have not
done ,
And that
which
I
do not
its
like
again ,
Because
of
all
thine
abominations
.
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. ’
Therefore
fathers do
eat sons in
thy
midst
, And sons eat their fathers ,
And
I have
done
in
thee
judgments ,
And have
scattered
all thy
remnant to every wind.
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
.
Therefore ,
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah:
Because My sanctuary thou
hast
defiled,
With all thy
detestable things,
And with
all
thine
abominations, Mine
eye
pitieth
not, and
I also
spare not
. Do
not
even
I
also
diminish?
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.
Thy
third part
--
by pestilence
they
die,
And
by famine are
consumed
in
thy
midst
, And
the
third part,
by sword they
fall
round
about
thee
, And the
third part,
to every wind I
scatter,
And a sword I
draw
out
after
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
.
And completed
hath
been
Mine
anger ,
And I have caused
My fury
to
rest
on
them, And I have been
comforted
, And
they have
known
that I, Jehovah
, have
spoken
in My zeal ,
In
My
completing
My
fury
on
them
.
I will
make
you
a ruin
and a disgrace
among the
nations around
you
, in
the sight
of all
who
pass
by.
And
I give
thee
for
a waste,
And for
a reproach
among nations that
`are'
round
about
thee
, Before
the eyes
of every
passer
by.
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.
And
it
hath
been
a reproach and a reviling
, An
instruction
and an
astonishment,
To nations that
`are'
round
about
thee
, In
My
doing
in
thee
judgments ,
In anger and fury ,
and
in
furious
reproofs,
I, Jehovah
, have spoken.
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
.
In
My
sending
the evil
arrows of famine among
them,
That
have
been
for
destruction ,
That I send to destroy you, And
famine I
am
adding
upon
you ,
And I
have
broken
to
you
the
staff
of bread
.
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 .”
And
I have
sent
on
you
famine and evil
beasts, And they have
bereaved
thee,
And pestilence
and
blood
pass
over
on
thee
, And a sword I
do
bring
in
against thee,
I, Jehovah
, have spoken !'
