draw out a sword after them.
005:003 You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
005:004 Of these again shall you take, and cast them into the midst
of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire
come forth into all the house of Israel.
005:005 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: This is Jerusalem; I have set her
in the midst of the nations, and countries are round about her.
005:006 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more
than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries
that are round about her; for they have rejected my ordinances,
and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.
005:007 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you are turbulent
more than the nations that are round about you, and have
not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances,
neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are
round about you;
005:008 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I, even I,
am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst
of you in the sight of the nations.
005:009 I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I
will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
005:010 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you,
and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute
judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter
to all the winds.
005:011 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 will I also diminish [you];
neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
005:012 A third part of you shall die with the pestilence,
and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you;
and a third part shall fall by the sword round about you;
and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will
draw out a sword after them.
005:013 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause
my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted;
and they shall know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal,
when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
005:014 Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among
the nations that are round about you, in the sight of all
that pass by.
005:015 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and
an astonishment, to the nations that are round about you,
when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath,
and in wrathful rebukes; (I, Yahweh, have spoken it;)
005:016 when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine,
that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you:
