¹¹ ‘Thus says the Lord God: ^(A)“Pound^[a] your fists and stamp your feet, and say, ‘Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! ^(B)For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

^12 (A)One-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and ^(B)I will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after ^(C)them.

⁶ ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you ^(A)clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and ^(B)rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel,

²¹ For thus says the Lord God: “How much more it shall be when ^(A)I send My four ^[a]severe judgments on Jerusalem—the sword and famine and wild beasts and pestilence—to cut off man and beast from it?

⁴ and the Lord said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put ^(A)a mark on the foreheads of the men ^(B)who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

¹⁰ And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence among them, till they are ^[a]consumed from the land that I gave to them and their fathers.’ ”

¹⁶ and saying, ‘Alas, alas, ^(A)that great city ^(B)that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! ^17 (C)For in one hour such great riches ^[a]came to nothing.’ ^(D)Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance ^18 (E)and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ^(F)‘What is like this great city?’

^19 (G)“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! ^(H)For in one hour she ^[b]is made desolate.’
