5:1 And thou, son 1121 of man 120, take 3947 8798 thee a sharp 2299 knife 2719, take 3947 8799 thee a barber's 1532 razor 8593, and cause [it] to pass 5674 8689 upon thine head 7218 and upon thy beard 2206: then take 3947 8804 thee balances 3976 to weigh 4948, and divide 2505 8765 the [hair].

5:2 Thou shalt burn 1197 8686 with fire 217 a third part 7992 in the midst 8432 of the city 5892, when the days 3117 of the siege 4692 are fulfilled 4390 8800: and thou shalt take 3947 8804 a third part 7992, [and] smite 5221 8686 about 5439 it with a knife 2719: and a third part 7992 thou shalt scatter 2219 8799 in the wind 7307; and I will draw out 7324 8686 a sword 2719 after 310 them.

5:3 Thou shalt also take 3947 8804 thereof a few 4592 in number 4557, and bind 6696 8804 them in thy skirts 3671.(skirts: Heb. wings)

5:4 Then take of them again 3947 8799, and cast 7993 8689 them into the midst 8432 of the fire 784, and burn 8313 8804 them in the fire 784; [for] thereof shall a fire 784 come forth 3318 8799 into all the house 1004 of Israel 3478.

5:5 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; This [is] Jerusalem 3389: I have set 7760 8804 it in the midst 8432 of the nations 1471 and countries 776 [that are] round about 5439 her.

5:6 And she hath changed 4784 8686 my judgments 4941 into wickedness 7564 more than the nations 1471, and my statutes 2708 more than the countries 776 that [are] round about 5439 her: for they have refused 3988 8804 my judgments 4941 and my statutes 2708, they have not walked 1980 8804 in them.

5:7 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Because ye multiplied 1995 8800 more than the nations 1471 that [are] round about 5439 you, [and] have not walked 1980 8804 in my statutes 2708, neither have kept 6213 8804 my judgments 4941, neither have done 6213 8804 according to the judgments 4941 of the nations 1471 that [are] round about 5439 you;

5:8 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Behold, I, even I, [am] against thee, and will execute 6213 8804 judgments 4941 in the midst 8432 of thee in the sight 5869 of the nations 1471.

5:9 And I will do 6213 8804 in thee that which I have not done 6213 8804, and whereunto I will not do 6213 8799 any more the like, because 3282 of all thine abominations 8441.

5:10 Therefore the fathers 1 shall eat 398 8799 the sons 1121 in the midst 8432 of thee, and the sons 1121 shall eat 398 8799 their fathers 1; and I will execute 6213 8804 judgments 8201 in thee, and the whole remnant 7611 of thee will I scatter 2219 8765 into all the winds 7307.

5:11 Wherefore, [as] I live 2416, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069; Surely, because thou hast defiled 2930 8765 my sanctuary 4720 with all thy detestable things 8251, and with all thine abominations 8441, therefore will I also diminish 1639 8799 [thee]; neither shall mine eye 5869 spare 2347 8799, neither will I have any pity 2550 8799.

5:12 A third part 7992 of thee shall die 4191 8799 with the pestilence 1698, and with famine 7458 shall they be consumed 3615 8799 in the midst 8432 of thee: and a third part 7992 shall fall 5307 8799 by the sword 2719 round about 5439 thee; and I will scatter 2219 8762 a third part 7992 into all the winds 7307, and I will draw out 7324 8686 a sword 2719 after 310 them.

5:13 Thus shall mine anger 639 be accomplished 3615 8804, and I will cause my fury 2534 to rest 5117 8689 upon them, and I will be comforted 5162 8694: and they shall know 3045 8804 that I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it] in my zeal 7068, when I have accomplished 3615 8763 my fury 2534 in them.

5:14 Moreover I will make 5414 8799 thee waste 2723, and a reproach 2781 among the nations 1471 that [are] round about 5439 thee, in the sight 5869 of all that pass by 5674 8802.

5:15 So it shall be a reproach 2781 and a taunt 1422, an instruction 4148 and an astonishment 4923 unto the nations 1471 that [are] round about 5439 thee, when I shall execute 6213 8800 judgments 8201 in thee in anger 639 and in fury 2534 and in furious 2534 rebukes 8433. I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it].

5:16 When I shall send 7971 8762 upon them the evil 7451 arrows 2671 of famine 7458, which shall be for [their] destruction 4889, [and] which I will send 7971 8763 to destroy 7843 8763 you: and I will increase 3254 8686 the famine 7458 upon you, and will break 7665 8804 your staff 4294 of bread 3899:

5:17 So will I send 7971 8765 upon you famine 7458 and evil 7451 beasts 2416, and they shall bereave 7921 8765 thee; and pestilence 1698 and blood 1818 shall pass through 5674 8799 thee; and I will bring 935 8686 the sword 2719 upon thee. I the LORD 3068 have spoken 1696 8765 [it].
