Ezekiel 5:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ In addition, take a few of these hairs and conceal them in a fold of your robe. ⁴ From these, however, take some and cast them into the fire and burn them completely. A fire will spread from there against the entire house of Israel.

⁵ Thus says the Lord God: This is Jerusalem, which I have established in the midst of the nations and surrounded with foreign countries.
