Ezekiel 5:12-17

English Standard Version

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

^13 (D)“Thus shall my anger spend itself, and I will vent my fury upon them and satisfy myself. And they shall know that ^(E)I am the Lord—that I have spoken in my jealousy—^(F)when I spend my fury upon them. ¹⁴ Moreover, I will make you ^(G)a desolation and ^(H)an object of reproach among ^(I)the nations all around you and in the sight of all who pass by. ¹⁵ You shall be^[a] a reproach and a taunt, a warning ^(J)and a horror, to ^(K)the nations all around you, ^(L)when I execute judgments on you in anger and fury, and ^(M)with furious rebukes—I am the Lord; I have spoken— ¹⁶ when I send against you^{[b] (N)}the deadly arrows of famine, arrows for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, and when I bring more and more famine upon ^(O)you and break your supply^[c] of bread. ¹⁷ I will send famine and ^(P)wild beasts against you, ^(Q)and they will rob you of your children. Pestilence and ^(R)blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you. I am the Lord; I have spoken.”
