1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife; a barber's razor shalt thou take; and cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy beard: and thou shalt take balances to weigh, and divide the {hair}.
2 A third part shalt thou burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and thou shalt take a third part, {and} smite about it with a knife; and a third part thou shalt scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 And thou shalt take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts;
4 and thou shalt take of these again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: from it shall a fire come forth against all the house of Israel.
5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem: I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the countries are round about her.
6 And she hath rebelled against my judgments in wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for mine ordinances have they refused; and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have been turbulent more than the nations that are round about you, {and} have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept mine ordinances, nor {even} have done according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about you;
8 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations;
9 and 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.
10 Therefore 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 to all the winds.
11 Wherefore, {as} I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, verily because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also withdraw mine eye, and it shall not spare, nor will I have any pity.
12 A third part of thee shall die by the pestilence, and shall be consumed by the famine in the midst of thee; and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
13 And mine anger shall be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon them, and I will comfort myself; and they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished my fury upon them.
14 And I will make thee a waste and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 And it shall be a reproach, and a taunt, an instruction, and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
16 When I send upon them the evil arrows of famine, that are for {their} destruction, which I send to destroy you, then will I increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread.
17 And I will send upon you famine and evil beasts, which shall bereave thee of children; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
1 "人子啊！ 你要拿一把利剑， 当作理发匠的剃刀， 剃你的头和刮你的胡子， 把须发放在天平上称， 然后把它们分成几分。
2 围困这城的日子满了， 你要拿须发的三分之一在城中用火烧掉， 又拿三分之一在城的周围用刀剁碎， 三分之一撒在风中， 我还要拔刀追赶它们。
3 你要在这些须发中取几根， 用你的衣角把它们包起来。
4 再从这几根须发中取一部分投在火里焚烧； 火必从那里蔓延到以色列全家。"
5 主耶和华这样说： "这就是耶路撒冷！ 我曾把她安置在列国中间， 万邦环绕着她。
6 但她违背我的典章， 行恶胜过列国； 触犯我的律例， 比环绕着她的万邦更坏。她弃绝我的典章， 不遵行我的律例。"
7 主耶和华这样说： "你们比你们四围的列国更叛逆， 不遵行我的律例， 不遵守我的典章， 连你们四围列国的法规你们也不遵守。"
8 所以， 主耶和华这样说： "看哪！ 我要敌对你。我要在你中间， 在列国的眼前， 施行审判。
9 我要因你一切可憎的事在你中间施行我未曾行过， 以后也不会这样施行的审判。
10 因此， 在你中间， 父亲要吃儿子， 儿子要吃父亲。我要向你施行审判， 把你余剩的众人分散到四方去。
11 "我指着我的永生起誓（这是主耶和华的宣告）， 你既然用你一切可憎的偶像和一切可厌的事来玷污我的圣所， 我必收回对你的恩宠， 我的眼必不顾惜你， 我也不怜恤你。
12 你的人民三分之一必在你中间因瘟疫死亡， 因饥荒消灭； 三分之一必在你周围因刀剑倒毙； 三分之一， 我要分散到四方去， 我还要拔刀追赶他们。
13 "这样我的怒气才可以发尽， 我向他们所发的烈怒才可以平息， 自己才得到舒畅。我向他们所发的烈怒完全发尽的时候， 他们就知道我耶和华说过的话是出于嫉恨的心。
14 我要使你变成荒地， 使你在你四围的列国中和在所有路过的人眼前， 成为羞辱的对象。
15 我以怒气、烈怒和忿怒的责备向你施行审判的时候， 你就必在你四围的列国中成为羞辱、讥讽和令人惊骇的对象， 也成了他们的警戒。这是我耶和华说的。
16 我射出饥荒和毁灭的毒箭的时候， 是为了毁灭你们。我要使你们的饥荒加剧， 断绝你们粮食的供应。
17 我要差遣饥荒和恶兽到你们那里去， 使你丧掉儿女； 在你中间必到处发生瘟疫和流血的事； 我也必使刀剑临到你。这是我耶和华说的。"
