Ezekiel 5:1-2

Expanded Bible

Ezekiel Cuts His Hair

5 “Now, ·human [^Tson of man; 2:1], take a sharp sword, and use it like a barber’s razor to shave your head and beard. Then take scales and weigh and divide the hair. ² Burn one-third with fire ·in the middle of [inside] the city when the days of the ·attack on Jerusalem [^Lsiege] are over. Then take one-third and cut it up with the ·knife [sword] all around the city. And scatter one-third to the wind. This is how I will chase them with ·a sword [unsheathed sword].
