Ezekiel 5:1-2

English Standard Version Anglicised

Jerusalem Will Be Destroyed

5 “And you, ^(A)O son of man, take a ^(B)sharp sword. Use it as ^(C)a barber's razor and ^(D)pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair. ^2 (E)A third part you shall burn in the fire ^(F)in the midst of the city, ^(G)when the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all round the city. ^(H)And a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and ^(I)I will unsheathe the sword after them.
