Ezekiel 5:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Therefore, parents will eat their children in your midst, and children will eat their parents.[a] I will inflict punishments upon you and scatter all who remain to the winds.(A)
11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your atrocities and all your abominations, I will surely withdraw and not look upon you with pity nor spare you.(B) 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.(C)
