Ezekiel 5:8-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁸ therefore, this is what the Lord God says. Watch out! I am against you. I myself will perform judgments among you in the sight of the nations. ⁹ I will do among you something that I have never done before and the likes of which I shall never do again, because of all your abominations. ¹⁰ That is why fathers among you^[a] will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments against you, and I will scatter any of you who are left to every wind.

¹¹ Therefore, as surely as I live, declares the Lord God, because you have defiled my sanctuary by all your detestable practices and all your abominations, I, yes I myself, will withdraw. My eye will not show pity, and I myself will have no compassion. ¹² A third of you will die in the plague or perish during the famine in your midst. All around you, a third will fall by the sword, and a third I will scatter to every wind. Then I will unsheathe the sword in pursuit of them. ¹³ Finally, my anger will be finished. I will let my wrath against them rest, and I will be satisfied. Then they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy^[b]—when I exhaust my wrath against them.
