Ezekiel 5:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ But take a few hairs and wrap them in the folds of your robe. ⁴ Then take some of those and throw them into the middle of the fire and burn them up in the fire. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.

⁵ This is what the Lord God says. This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations, and all around her there are other countries.
