Berean Standard Bible
`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
.
“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
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.
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
hast
taken
thence
a few in
number
--
and hast
bound
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
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.
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
said
the Lord Jehovah
: this `
is '
Jerusalem, In the midst
of the nations I
have
set
her
, And
round
about
her `are'
the
lands
.
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 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
.
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
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
: ‘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
: Lo
, I `
am '
against thee
, even
I
, And I have
done
in
thy
midst
judgments ,
Before
the eyes
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 have
done
in
thee
that
which
I have not
done ,
And that
which
I
do not
its
like
again ,
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
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.
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 ,
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?
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
.
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.
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.
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
.
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
I give
thee
for
a waste,
And for
a reproach
among nations that
`are'
round
about
thee
, Before
the eyes
of every
passer
by.
I will
make
you
a ruin
and a disgrace
among the
nations around
you
, in
the sight
of all
who
pass
by.
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.
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.
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
.
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 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 !'
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 .”
