Ezekiel 5:2-4
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
2 One-third of the hair you shall burn in the fire inside the city, when the days of the siege are completed; one-third you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city;[a] and one-third you shall scatter to the wind, and I will unsheathe the sword after them. 3 Then you shall take from these a small number, and bind them in the skirts of your robe. 4 From these, again, you shall take some, throw them into the fire, and burn them up; from there a fire will come out against all the house of Israel.
