Ezekiel 5:8-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ therefore thus says the Lord God: I, I myself, am coming against you; I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.^{(A) 9} And because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never yet done and the like of which I will never do again.^{(B) 10} Surely, parents shall eat their children in your midst, and children shall eat their parents; I will execute judgments on you, and any of you who survive I will scatter to every wind.^{(C) 11} Therefore, as I live, says the Lord God, surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will withdraw; my eye will not spare, and I will have no pity.^{(D) 12} One third of you shall die of pestilence or be consumed by famine among you; one third shall fall by the sword around you; and one third I will scatter to every wind and will unsheathe the sword after them.^(E)

¹³ “My anger shall spend itself, and I will vent my fury on them and satisfy myself, and they shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy when I spend my fury on them.^(F)
