Ezekiel 5:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 A third of your people shall die of disease or starve to death within you; another third shall fall by the sword all around you; a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue them with the sword.(A)
13 Thus my anger will spend itself; I will vent my wrath against them until I am satisfied. Then they will know that I the Lord spoke in my passion when I spend my wrath upon them.(B) 14 I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations around you, in the sight of every passerby.(C)
