Ezequiel 5
Nueva Versión Internacional

5 »Tú, hijo de hombre, toma ahora una espada afilada, y úsala como navaja de afeitar para raparte la cabeza y afeitarte la barba. Toma luego una balanza y divide tu cabello cortado. 2 Cuando se cumplan los días del sitio, quemarás en medio de la ciudad una tercera parte del cabello; otra tercera parte la cortarás con la espada alrededor de la ciudad; la parte restante la esparcirás al viento. Yo, por mi parte, desenvainaré la espada y los perseguiré. 3 Toma algunos de los cabellos y átalos al borde de tu manto. 4 Y de ellos, toma otros pocos y arrójalos en el fuego para que se quemen. Desde allí se extenderá el fuego sobre todo el pueblo de Israel.

5 »Así dice el Señor y Dios: Esta es la ciudad de Jerusalén. Yo la coloqué en medio de las naciones y de los territorios a su alrededor. 6 Pero ella se rebeló contra mis leyes y estatutos, con una perversidad mayor a la de las naciones y territorios vecinos. En otras palabras, rechazó por completo mis leyes y estatutos.

7 »Por eso yo, el Señor y Dios, declaro: Ustedes han sido más rebeldes que las naciones a su alrededor. No han seguido mis estatutos ni obedecido mis leyes; ni siquiera se han sujetado a las costumbres de esas naciones.

8 »Por lo tanto yo, el Señor y Dios, declaro: Estoy contra ti, Jerusalén, y te voy a castigar a la vista de todas las naciones. 9 Por causa de tus prácticas detestables, haré contigo lo que jamás he hecho ni volveré a hacer. 10 Entre ustedes habrá padres que se comerán a sus hijos y también hijos que se comerán a sus padres. Yo los castigaré y a quien sobreviva lo dispersaré por los cuatro vientos.

11 »Por tanto, tan cierto como que yo vivo, declara el Señor y Dios: como ustedes han profanado mi santuario con sus ídolos repugnantes y con prácticas detestables, yo mismo los destruiré sin piedad ni compasión. 12 Una tercera parte de tu pueblo morirá en tus calles por la plaga y por el hambre; otra tercera parte caerá a filo de espada en tus alrededores; a la tercera parte restante la dispersaré por los cuatro vientos. Yo desenvainaré la espada y perseguiré a la gente.

13 »Entonces se apaciguará mi ira, mi enojo contra ellos será saciado y me daré por satisfecho. Y, cuando en mi celo haya desahogado mi enojo contra ellos, sabrán que yo, el Señor, lo he dicho.

14 »Yo te convertiré en un montón de ruinas; te haré objeto de burla de todas las naciones que te rodean. Todos los que pasen junto a ti lo verán. 15 Cuando yo te castigue con indignación, enojo y durísimos reproches, serás objeto de burla y deshonra, y motivo de advertencia y escarmiento para las naciones que te rodean. Yo, el Señor, lo he dicho. 16 Yo te haré blanco del hambre, esa mortífera flecha que todo lo destruye. Dispararé a matar, pues traeré sobre ti hambre y escasez de alimentos. 17 Por si fuera poco, lanzaré contra ti animales salvajes que te dejarán sin hijos. Te verás abrumado por las plagas y por el derramamiento de sangre, pues haré que caigas a filo de espada. Yo, el Señor, lo he dicho».

The Siege of Jerusalem

5 “Now as for you, son of man, take a (A)sharp sword; take and [a]use it as a barber’s razor on your head and beard. Then take (B)scales for weighing and divide [b]the hair. 2 One-third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city when the (C)days of the siege are fulfilled. Then you shall take one-third and strike it with the sword all around [c]the city, and one-third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will (D)unsheathe a sword behind them. 3 You shall also take a few in number from [d]them and bind them in the edges of your robes. 4 Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will [e]spread to all the house of Israel.

5 “Thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘This is (E)Jerusalem; I have set her at the (F)center of the nations, with lands all around her. 6 But she has rebelled against My judgments more wickedly than the nations and against My statutes (G)more than the lands which are all around her; for they have (H)rejected My judgments and have not walked [f]in My statutes.’ 7 Therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Because you have (I)more turmoil than the nations which are all around you and have not walked in My statutes, nor done My judgments, nor done the judgments of the nations which are all around you,’ 8 therefore, thus says Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I, even I, am (J)against you, and I will (K)execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations. 9 And I will do among you what I have (L)not done and the like of which I will never do again because of all your abominations. 10 Therefore, (M)fathers will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and (N)scatter all your remnant to every wind. 11 So as I live,’ declares Lord Yahweh, ‘surely, because you have (O)defiled My sanctuary with all your (P)detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also withdraw, and My eye will have no pity, and I will not spare. 12 One-third of you will die by the (Q)plague or be consumed by the famine among you, one-third will fall by the sword around you, and one-third I will (R)scatter to every wind, and I will (S)unsheathe a sword behind them.

13 ‘Thus My anger will be spent, and I will cause My wrath against them to be at rest, and I will be [g](T)appeased; then they will know that I, Yahweh, have (U)spoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them. 14 Moreover, I will make you a [h]ruin and a (V)reproach among the nations which are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15 So [i]it will be a reproach, a reviling, a (W)chastisement, and a desecration to the nations who are all around you when I (X)execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and wrathful reproofs. I, Yahweh, have spoken. 16 When I send against them the [j]deadly arrows of famine which [k]were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread. 17 Moreover, (Y)I will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; (Z)plague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken.’”

Ezekiel 5
King James Version

5 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

5 Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

7 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord have spoken it.

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
