Ezekiel 5:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² A third of your people will die of the plague inside your walls. Or they will die of hunger there. Another third will be killed by swords outside your walls. And I will scatter the last third of your people to the winds. I will chase them with a sword that is ready to strike them down.

¹³ “Then I will not be angry anymore. My great anger against them will die down. And I will be satisfied. Then they will know that I have spoken with strong feelings. And my great anger toward them will come to an end. I am the Lord.

¹⁴ “I will destroy you. I will bring shame on you in the sight of the nations around you. All those who pass by will see it.
