⁵ Thus said the Lord Jehovah: this is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations I have set her, And round about her are the lands. ⁶ And she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that are round about her, For against My judgments they have kicked, And My statutes—they have not walked in them. ⁷ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your multiplying above the nations that are around you, In My statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments ye have not done, According to the judgments of the nations That are round about you ye have not done. ⁸ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am against thee, even I, And I have done in thy midst judgments, Before the eyes of the nations. ⁹ And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that which I do not its like again, Because of all thine abominations. ¹⁰ Therefore fathers do eat sons in thy midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done in thee judgments, And have scattered all thy remnant to every wind. ¹¹ Therefore, I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish? ¹² Thy third part—by pestilence they die, And by famine are consumed in thy midst, And the third part, by sword they fall round about thee, And the third part, to every wind I scatter, And a sword I draw out after them. ¹³ And completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them. ¹⁴ And I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among nations that are round about thee, Before the eyes of every passer by. ¹⁵ And it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that are round about thee, In My doing in thee judgments, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken. ¹⁶ In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And famine I am adding upon you, And I have broken to you the staff of bread. ¹⁷ And I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they have bereaved thee, And pestilence and blood pass over on thee, And a sword I do bring in against thee, I, Jehovah, have spoken!'

³ And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they consider, for a rebellious house they are . ⁴ And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal. ⁵ Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou hast brought forth by it. ⁶ Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to the house of Israel.' ⁷ And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before their eyes. ⁸ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning, saying, ⁹ `Son of man, have they not said unto thee—the house of Israel—the rebellious house—What art thou doing? <sup>10</sup> say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `The prince is this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst. ¹¹ Say: I am your type; as I have done so it is done to them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go. ¹² As to the prince who is in their midst, on the shoulder he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that he may not look on the very surface of the land. ¹³ And I have spread My net for him, and he hath been caught in My snare, and I have brought him in to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, and it he doth not see—and there doth he die. ¹⁴ `And all who are round about him to help him, and all his bands, I do scatter to every wind, and a sword I draw out after them. ¹⁵ And they have known that I am Jehovah, in My scattering them among nations, and I have spread them through lands; ¹⁶ and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount all their abominations among the nations whither they have come, and they have known that I am Jehovah.'
