EZEKIEL DRAMATIZES JERUSALEM’S FALL

5 “Now you, son of man, take a sharp sword,t use it as you would a barber’s razor, and shave your head and beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair. 2 You are to burn a third of it in the city when the days of the siege have ended;u you are to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind, for I will draw a sword to chase after them.
