¹And youi , Son of man, take youi a sharp knife, take youi a barber’s razor, and cause [it] to pass upon youri head and upon youri beard: then take youi balances to weigh, and divide the [hair] .

²Youi shall burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and youi shall take a third part, [and] strike about it with a knife: and a third part youi shall scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

³Youi shall also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in youri skirts.

⁴Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

⁵Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) ; This [is] Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] : I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.

⁶And she has changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

⁷Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) ; Because you2f multiplied more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you;

⁸Therefore thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) ; Behold, I, even I, [am] against youi , and will execute judgments in the midst of youri in the sight of the nations.

⁹And I will do in youi that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all youi abominations.

¹⁰Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of youi , and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in youi , and the whole remnant of youi will I scatter into all the winds.

¹¹For what reason, [as] I live, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) ; Surely, because youi have defiled my sanctuary with all youri detestable things, and with all youri abominations, therefore will I also diminish [you ] ; neither shall my eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

¹²A third part of youi shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of youi : and a third part shall fall by the sword round about youi ; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

¹³Thus shall my 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 -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

¹⁴Moreover I will make youi waste, and a reproach (disgrace; shame) among the nations that [are] round about youi , in the sight of all that pass by.

¹⁵So it shall be a reproach (disgrace; shame) and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about youi , when I shall execute judgments in youi in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it] .

¹⁶When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] 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 youi ; and pestilence and blood shall pass through youi ; and I will bring the sword upon youi . I the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) have spoken [it] .
