Ezekiel 5:12–17

¹²A third of your people will die by plague and be consumed by famine within you;^e a third will fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter a third to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.^{f 13}When my anger is spent and I have vented my wrath on them, I will be appeased.^g Then after I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken in my jealousy.^h

¹⁴“I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by. ¹⁵So you^B will be a disgrace and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger,ⁱ wrath, and furious rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. ¹⁶When I shoot deadly arrows of famine at them, arrows for destruction that I will send to destroy you, inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of bread. ¹⁷I will send famine and dangerous animals against you. They will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken.”^j
