## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
[[#Verse 01.]] “As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor. Shave off some of the hair from your head and your beard. Then take scales and divide up the hair you cut off.Â
[[#Verse 02.]]Â Burn a third of it in the fire inside the city when the days of your siege are completed. Take a third and slash it with a sword all around the city. Scatter a third to the wind, and I will unleash a sword behind them.Â
[[#Verse 03.]] But take a few strands of hair from those and tie them in the ends of your garment.Â
[[#Verse 04.]] Again, take more of them and throw them into the fire, and burn them up. From there a fire will spread to all the house of Israel.
[[#Verse 05.]] “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This is Jerusalem; I placed her in the center of the nations with countries all around her.Â
[[#Verse 06.]] Then she defied my regulations and my statutes, becoming more wicked than the nations and the countries around her. Indeed, they have rejected my regulations, and they do not follow my statutes.
[[#Verse 07.]] “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you are more arrogant than the nations around you, you have not followed my statutes and have not carried out my regulations. You have not even carried out the regulations of the nations around you!
[[#Verse 08.]] “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I—even I—am against you, and I will execute judgment among you while the nations watch.Â
[[#Verse 09.]]Â I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again because of all your abominable practices.Â
[[#Verse 10.]] Therefore, fathers will eat their sons within you, Jerusalem, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you, and I will scatter any survivors to the winds.
[[#Verse 11.]] “Therefore, as surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, because you defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominable practices, I will withdraw; my eye will not pity you, nor will I spare you.Â
[[#Verse 12.]] A third of your people will die of plague or be overcome by the famine within you. A third of your people will fall by the sword surrounding you, and a third I will scatter to the winds. I will unleash a sword behind them.Â
[[#Verse 13.]] Then my anger will be fully vented; I will exhaust my rage on them, and I will be appeased. Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy when I have fully vented my rage against them.
[[#Verse 14.]] “I will make you desolate and an object of scorn among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.Â
[[#Verse 15.]] You will be an object of scorn and taunting, a prime example of destruction among the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger and raging fury. I, the Lord, have spoken!Â
[[#Verse 16.]] I will shoot against them deadly, destructive arrows of famine, which I will shoot to destroy you. I will prolong a famine on you and will remove the bread supply.Â
[[#Verse 17.]] I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will take your children from you. Plague and bloodshed will overwhelm you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”
