Ezekiel 5:12-17

12 ‘One third of you will die by ^aplague or be consumed by 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 ^{▼▼ Lit cause to rest}satisfy My wrath on them, and I will be ^{▼▼ Lit comforted
,} ^fappeased; then they will know that I, the Lord, have ^gspoken in My zeal when I have spent My wrath upon them. 14 ‘Moreover, I will make you a desolation and a ^hreproach among the nations which surround you, in the sight of all who pass by. 15 ‘So ^{▼▼ Ancient versions read you}it will be a reproach, a reviling, a ^jwarning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I ^kexecute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the Lord, have spoken. 16 ‘When I send against them the ^{▼▼ Lit evil}deadly arrows of famine which ^{▼▼ Or are for destruction, which I will send}were 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, ⁿI will send on you famine and wild beasts, and they will bereave you of children; ^oplague and bloodshed also will pass through you, and I will bring the sword on you. I, the Lord, have spoken.’”
