Ezekiel 5:12-17

New International Version

¹² A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds^(A) and pursue with drawn sword.^(B)

¹³ “Then my anger will cease and my wrath^(C) against them will subside, and I will be avenged.^(D) And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.^(E)

¹⁴ “I will make you a ruin and a reproach among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.^{(F) 15} You will be a reproach^(G) and a taunt, a warning^(H) and an object of horror to the nations around you when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath and with stinging rebuke.^(I) I the Lord have spoken.^{(J) 16} When I shoot at you with my deadly and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut off your supply of food.^{(K) 17} I will send famine and wild beasts^(L) against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed^(M) will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the Lord have spoken.^(N)”
