American Standard Version (1901). Public domain.

And thou, sonH1121 of manH120, takeH3947 thee a sharpH2299 swordH2719; as a barber'sH1532 razorH8593 shalt thou takeH3947 it unto thee, and shalt cause it to passH5674 upon thy headH7218 and upon thy beardH2206: then takeH3947 thee balancesH3976 to weighH4948, and divideH2505 the hair. A third partH7992 shalt thou burnH1197 in the fireH217 in the midstH8432 of the cityH5892, when the daysH3117 of the siegeH4692 are fulfilledH4390; and thou shalt takeH3947 a third partH7992, and smiteH5221 with the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 it; and a third partH7992 thou shalt scatterH2219 to the windH7307, and I will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them. And thou shalt takeH3947 thereof a fewH4592 in numberH4557, and bindH6696 them in thy skirtsH3671. And of these againH3947 shalt thou take, and castH7993 them into the midstH8432 of the fireH784, and burnH8313 them in the fireH784; therefrom shall a fireH784 come forthH3318 into all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 JehovahH136: This is JerusalemH3389; I have setH7760 her in the midstH8432 of the nationsH1471, and countriesH776 are round aboutH5439 her. And she hath rebelledH4784 against mine ordinancesH4941 in doing wickednessH7564 more than the nationsH1471, and against my statutesH2708 more than the countriesH776 that are round aboutH5439 her; for they have rejectedH3988 mine ordinancesH4941, and as for my statutesH2708, they have not walkedH1980 in them. Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 JehovahH3069: Because ye are turbulentH1995 more than the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you, and have not walkedH1980 in my statutesH2708, neither have keptH6213 mine ordinancesH4941, neither have doneH6213 after the ordinancesH4941 of the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 you; therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 JehovahH136: Behold, I, even I, am against thee; and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH4941 in the midstH8432 of thee in the sightH5869 of the nationsH1471. And I will doH6213 in thee that which I have not doneH6213, and whereunto I will not doH6213 any more the like, becauseH3282 of all thine abominationsH8441. Therefore the fathersH1 shall eatH398 the sonsH1121 in the midstH8432 of thee, and the sonsH1121 shall eatH398 their fathersH1; and I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on thee; and the whole remnantH7611 of thee will I scatterH2219 unto all the windsH7307. Wherefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 JehovahH136, surely, because thou hast defiledH2930 my sanctuaryH4720 with all thy detestable thingsH8251, and with all thine abominationsH8441, therefore will I also diminishH1639 thee; neither shall mine eyeH5869 spareH2347, and I also will have no pityH2550. A third partH7992 of thee shall dieH4191 with the pestilenceH1698, and with famineH7458 shall they be consumedH3615 in the midstH8432 of thee; and a third partH7992 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719 round aboutH5439 thee; and a third partH7992 I will scatterH2219 unto all the windsH7307, and will draw outH7324 a swordH2719 afterH310 them. Thus shall mine angerH639 be accomplishedH3615, and I will cause my wrathH2534 toward them to restH5117, and I shall be comfortedH5162; and they shall knowH3045 that I, JehovahH3068, have spokenH1696 in my zealH7068, when I have accomplishedH3615 my wrathH2534 upon them. Moreover I will makeH5414 thee a desolationH2723 and a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, in the sightH5869 of all that pass byH5674. So it shall be a reproachH2781 and a tauntH1422, an instructionH4148 and an astonishmentH4923, unto the nationsH1471 that are round aboutH5439 thee, when I shall executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on thee in angerH639 and in wrathH2534, and in wrathfulH2534 rebukesH8433; (I, JehovahH3068, have spokenH1696 it;) when I shall sendH7971 upon them the evilH7451 arrowsH2671 of famineH7458, that are for destructionH4889, which I will sendH7971 to destroyH7843 you: and I will increaseH3254 the famineH7458 upon you, and will breakH7665 your staffH4294 of breadH3899; and I will sendH7971 upon you famineH7458 and evilH7451 beastsH2416, and they shall bereaveH7921 thee; and pestilenceH1698 and bloodH1818 shall pass throughH5674 thee; and I will bringH935 the swordH2719 upon thee: I, JehovahH3068, have spokenH1696 it.
