³³ You, however, I ^(A)will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you, as your land becomes desolate and your cities become waste.

¹⁶ I will ^(A)scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the ^(B)sword after them until I have consumed them.”

² One-third you shall burn in the fire at the center of the city when the ^(A)days of the siege are fulfilled. Then you shall take one-third and strike it with the sword all around ^[a]the city, and one-third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will ^(B)unsheathe a sword behind them.

¹² One-third of you will die by the ^(A)plague or be consumed by the famine among you, one-third will fall by the sword around you, and one-third I will ^(B)scatter to every wind, and I will ^(C)unsheathe a sword behind them.
