Ezekiel 5
1And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause <add>it</add> to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the <add>hair</add>.2Thou 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, <add>and</add> 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.3Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.4Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; <add>for</add> thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5Thus saith the Lord GOD; This <add>is</add> Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries <add>that are</add> round about her.6And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that <add>are</add> round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.7Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that <add>are</add> round about you, <add>and</add> have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that <add>are</add> round about you;8Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, <add>am</add> against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.9And 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.10Therefore 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.11Wherefore, <add>as</add> 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 <add>thee;</add> neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12A 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.13Thus 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 <add>it</add> in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.14Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that <add>are</add> round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.15So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that <add>are</add> round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken <add>it</add>.16When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for <add>their</add> destruction, <add>and</add> which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:17So 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 <add>it</add>.
