1. `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.
|
1. And thou H859 , son H1121 of man H120 , take H3947 thee a sharp H2299 knife H2719 , take H3947 thee a barber H1532 's razor H8593 , and cause it to pass H5674 upon H5921 thine head H7218 and upon H5921 thy beard H2206 : then take H3947 thee balances H3976 to weigh H4948 , and divide H2505 the hair .
|
|
2. 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.
|
2. Thou shalt burn H1197 with fire H217 a third part H7992 in the midst H8432 of the city H5892 , when the days H3117 of the siege H4692 are fulfilled H4390 : and thou shalt take H3947 H853 a third part H7992 , and smite H5221 about H5439 it with a knife H2719 : and a third part H7992 thou shalt scatter H2219 in the wind H7307 ; and I will draw out H7324 a sword H2719 after H310 them.
|
|
3. And thou hast taken thence a few in number -- and hast bound them in thy skirts;
|
3. Thou shalt also take H3947 thereof H4480 H8033 a few H4592 in number H4557 , and bind H6696 them in thy skirts H3671 .
|
|
4. 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.
|
4. Then take H3947 of H4480 them again H5750 , and cast H7993 them into H413 the midst H8432 of the fire H784 , and burn H8313 them in the fire H784 ; for thereof H4480 shall a fire H784 come forth H3318 into H413 all H3605 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 .

5. 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.
|
5. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; This H2063 is Jerusalem H3389 : I have set H7760 it in the midst H8432 of the nations H1471 and countries H776 that are round about H5439 her.
|
|
6. 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.
|
6. And she hath changed H4784 H853 my judgments H4941 into wickedness H7564 more than H4480 the nations H1471 , and my statutes H2708 more than H4480 the countries H776 that H834 are round about H5439 her: for H3588 they have refused H3988 my judgments H4941 and my statutes H2708 , they have not H3808 walked H1980 in them.
|
|
7. 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.
|
7. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 ye multiplied H1995 more than H4480 the nations H1471 that H834 are round about H5439 you, and have not H3808 walked H1980 in my statutes H2708 , neither H3808 have kept H6213 my judgments H4941 , neither H3808 have done H6213 according to the judgments H4941 of the nations H1471 that H834 are round about H5439 you;
|
|
8. 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.
|
8. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I, even H1571 I H589 , am against H5921 thee , and will execute H6213 judgments H4941 in the midst H8432 of thee in the sight H5869 of the nations H1471 .
|
|
9. 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.
|
9. And I will do H6213 in thee H853 that which H834 I have not H3808 done H6213 , and whereunto H834 I will not H3808 do H6213 any more H5750 the like H3644 , because of H3282 all H3605 thine abominations H8441 .
|
|
10. 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.
|
10. Therefore H3651 the fathers H1 shall eat H398 the sons H1121 in the midst H8432 of thee , and the sons H1121 shall eat H398 their fathers H1 ; and I will execute H6213 judgments H8201 in thee , and H853 the whole H3605 remnant H7611 of thee will I scatter H2219 into all H3605 the winds H7307 .
|
|
11. 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?
|
11. Wherefore H3651 , as I H589 live H2416 , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Surely H518 H3808 , because H3282 thou hast defiled H2930 H853 my sanctuary H4720 with all H3605 thy detestable things H8251 , and with all H3605 thine abominations H8441 , therefore H1571 will I H589 also diminish H1639 thee ; neither H3808 shall mine eye H5869 spare H2347 , neither H3808 will I H589 have any pity H2550 .
|
|
12. 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.
|
12. A third part H7992 of thee shall die H4191 with the pestilence H1698 , and with famine H7458 shall they be consumed H3615 in the midst H8432 of thee : and a third part H7992 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 round about H5439 thee ; and I will scatter H2219 a third part H7992 into all H3605 the winds H7307 , and I will draw out H7324 a sword H2719 after H310 them.
|
|
13. 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.
|
13. Thus shall mine anger H639 be accomplished H3615 , and I will cause my fury H2534 to rest H5117 upon them , and I will be comforted H5162 : and they shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it in my zeal H7068 , when I have accomplished H3615 my fury H2534 in them.
|
|
14. 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.
|
14. Moreover I will make H5414 thee waste H2723 , and a reproach H2781 among the nations H1471 that H834 are round about H5439 thee , in the sight H5869 of all H3605 that pass by H5674 .
|
|
15. 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.
|
15. So it shall be H1961 a reproach H2781 and a taunt H1422 , an instruction H4148 and an astonishment H4923 unto the nations H1471 that H834 are round about H5439 thee , when I shall execute H6213 judgments H8201 in thee in anger H639 and in fury H2534 and in furious H2534 rebukes H8433 . I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it .
|
|
16. 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.
|
16. When I shall send H7971 upon them the H853 evil H7451 arrows H2671 of famine H7458 , which H834 shall be H1961 for their destruction H4889 , and which H834 I will send H7971 H853 to destroy H7843 you : and I will increase H3254 the famine H7458 upon H5921 you , and will break H7665 your staff H4294 of bread H3899 :
|
|
17. 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!`
|
17. So will I send H7971 upon H5921 you famine H7458 and evil H7451 beasts H2416 , and they shall bereave H7921 thee ; and pestilence H1698 and blood H1818 shall pass H5674 through thee ; and I will bring H935 the sword H2719 upon H5921 thee. I H589 the LORD H3068 have spoken H1696 it .
