12 The third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and another third part shall fall by the sword round about thee: and I will scatter the last third part into all winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath to cease in them, and I will be [a]comforted: and they shall know, that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath in them.

14 Moreover, I will make thee waste, and abhorred among the nations that are round about thee, and in the sight of all that pass by.
