Ezekiel 5:2, 10, 12-14

Burn one-third with fire in the middle of the city when the days of the attack on Jerusalem are over. Then take one-third and cut it up with the knife all around the city. And scatter one-third to the wind. This is how I will chase them with a sword.

So parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will punish you and will scatter to the winds all who are left alive.

A third of you will die by disease or be destroyed by hunger inside your walls. A third will fall dead by the sword outside your walls. And a third I will scatter in every direction as I chase them with a sword. Then my anger will come to an end. I will use it up against them, and then I will be satisfied. Then they will know that I, the LORD, have spoken. After I have carried out my anger against them, they will know how strongly I felt. “I will make you a ruin and a shame among the nations around you, to be seen by all who pass by.
