Ezekiel 5:12–17

¹²‘One-third of you will die by the ^aplague or be consumed by the famine among you, one-third will fall by the sword around you, and one-third I will ^bscatter to every wind, and I will ^cunsheathe a sword behind them.

¹³‘Thus My anger will be spent, and I will cause My wrath against them to be at rest, and I will be ^1aappeased; then they will know that I, Yahweh, have ^bspoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them.

¹⁴‘Moreover, I will make you a ¹ruin and a ^areproach among the nations which are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by.

¹⁵‘So ¹it will be a reproach, a reviling, a ^achastisement, and a desecration to the nations who are all around you when I ^bexecute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and wrathful reproofs. I, Yahweh, have spoken.

¹⁶‘When I send against them the ¹deadly arrows of famine which ²were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.

¹⁷‘Moreover, ^aI will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; ^bplague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken.’”
