Jerusalem Will Be Destroyed

5 “And you, ^(A)O son of man, take a ^(B)sharp sword. Use it as ^(C)a barber's razor and ^(D)pass it over your head and your beard. Then take balances for weighing and divide the hair.

^2 (A)A third part you shall burn in the fire ^(B)in the midst of the city, ^(C)when the days of the siege are completed. And a third part you shall take and strike with the sword all around the city. ^(D)And a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and ^(E)I will unsheathe the sword after them.
