1 "You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair. 2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them. 3 You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe. 4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.

5 "The Lord Yahweh says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her. 6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’

7 "Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you; 8 therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations. 9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations. 10 Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds. 11 Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I will have no pity. 12 A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.

13 "‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.

14 "‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by. 15 So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, Yahweh, have spoken it— 16 when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread. 17 I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’"

1 "人子啊！ 你要拿一把利剑， 当作理发匠的剃刀， 剃你的头和刮你的胡子， 把须发放在天平上称， 然后把它们分成几分。

2 围困这城的日子满了， 你要拿须发的三分之一在城中用火烧掉， 又拿三分之一在城的周围用刀剁碎， 三分之一撒在风中， 我还要拔刀追赶它们。

3 你要在这些须发中取几根， 用你的衣角把它们包起来。

4 再从这几根须发中取一部分投在火里焚烧； 火必从那里蔓延到以色列全家。"

5 主耶和华这样说： "这就是耶路撒冷！ 我曾把她安置在列国中间， 万邦环绕着她。

6 但她违背我的典章， 行恶胜过列国； 触犯我的律例， 比环绕着她的万邦更坏。她弃绝我的典章， 不遵行我的律例。"

7 主耶和华这样说： "你们比你们四围的列国更叛逆， 不遵行我的律例， 不遵守我的典章， 连你们四围列国的法规你们也不遵守。"

8 所以， 主耶和华这样说： "看哪！ 我要敌对你。我要在你中间， 在列国的眼前， 施行审判。

9 我要因你一切可憎的事在你中间施行我未曾行过， 以后也不会这样施行的审判。

10 因此， 在你中间， 父亲要吃儿子， 儿子要吃父亲。我要向你施行审判， 把你余剩的众人分散到四方去。

11 "我指着我的永生起誓（这是主耶和华的宣告）， 你既然用你一切可憎的偶像和一切可厌的事来玷污我的圣所， 我必收回对你的恩宠， 我的眼必不顾惜你， 我也不怜恤你。

12 你的人民三分之一必在你中间因瘟疫死亡， 因饥荒消灭； 三分之一必在你周围因刀剑倒毙； 三分之一， 我要分散到四方去， 我还要拔刀追赶他们。

13 "这样我的怒气才可以发尽， 我向他们所发的烈怒才可以平息， 自己才得到舒畅。我向他们所发的烈怒完全发尽的时候， 他们就知道我耶和华说过的话是出于嫉恨的心。

14 我要使你变成荒地， 使你在你四围的列国中和在所有路过的人眼前， 成为羞辱的对象。

15 我以怒气、烈怒和忿怒的责备向你施行审判的时候， 你就必在你四围的列国中成为羞辱、讥讽和令人惊骇的对象， 也成了他们的警戒。这是我耶和华说的。

16 我射出饥荒和毁灭的毒箭的时候， 是为了毁灭你们。我要使你们的饥荒加剧， 断绝你们粮食的供应。

17 我要差遣饥荒和恶兽到你们那里去， 使你丧掉儿女； 在你中间必到处发生瘟疫和流血的事； 我也必使刀剑临到你。这是我耶和华说的。"
