Ezekiel 5:8-17

“So this is what the Lord GOD says: I myself am against you, and I will punish you as the nations watch. I will do things among you that I have not done before and that I will never do anything like again, because you do the things I hate. 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. So the Lord GOD says: You have made my Temple unclean with all your evil idols and the hateful things you do. Because of this, as surely as I live, I will cut you off. I will have no pity, and I will show no mercy. 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. Then the nations around you will shame you and make fun of you. You will be a warning and a terror to them. This will happen when I punish you in my great anger. I, the LORD, have spoken. I will send a time of hunger to destroy you, and then I will make your hunger get even worse, and I will cut off your supply of food. I will send a time of hunger and wild animals against you, and they will kill your children. Disease and death will sweep through your people, and I will bring the sword against you to kill you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
