예루살렘을 칠 칼

“사람의 아들아, 너는 이발사의 면도칼처럼 날카로운 칼을 가져다가 네 머리 털과 수염을 밀고 그것을 저울에 달아 셋으로 똑같이 나누어 두었다가

네가 그 성을 포위하고 있는 날수가 차거든 그 털의 3분의 은 성 안에서 불사르고 또 3분의 은 성 주변에서 칼로 치고 나머지 3분의 은 바람에 흩어 버려라. 내가 칼을 빼서 그 뒤를 따를 것이다.

그리고 너는 그 털 중에서 몇 가닥을 네 옷자락에 싸 두었다가

다시 그 가운데서 얼마를 끄집어내어 그것을 불에 던져 사르라. 거기서 불이 나와 온 이스라엘에 번질 것이다.”

주 여호와께서 다시 말씀하셨다. “이것이 바로 예루살렘이다. 내가 그를 여러 나라의 중앙에 세워 다른 나라들로 둘러싸이게 하였으나

그가 내 명령을 거역하고 내 법을 어겨 그 주변의 이방인들보다 더 많은 악을 행하였다. 이것은 그가 내 법을 거절하고 내가 정한 규정대로 행하지 않았기 때문이다.

“그러므로 예루살렘아, 나 주 여호와가 하는 말을 들어라. 너는 네 주변에 있는 이방인들보다 더 많은 소란을 피우고 내 법과 규정을 지키지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 네 주변 인접국들의 규범대로도 행하지 않았다.

“그러므로 나 주 여호와가 말한다. 내가 너 예루살렘을 치고 이방 나라들이 보는 가운데서 너에게 벌을 내리겠다.

이와 같이 네가 모든 더러운 짓을 하였으므로 내가 전에도 없었고 앞으로도 없을 벌을 너에게 내릴 것이다.

10 그러므로 예루살렘에서 아버지가 자식을 먹고 자식이 아버지를 먹는 일이 있을 것이다. 내가 벌을 너에게 내리고 살아 남은 자를 사방에 흩어 버리겠다.

11 “그러므로 살아 있는 나 주 여호와가 분명히 말하지만 네가 모든 우상과 더러운 행위로 내 성소를 더럽혔으니 나도 너를 아끼지 않고 너를 불쌍히 여기지 않을 것이다.

12 네 백성 중 3분의 은 너의 성 안에서 무서운 질병이나 기근으로 죽을 것이며 또 3분의 은 너의 성 밖에서 칼날에 죽고 나머지 3분의 은 내가 사방에 흩어 버리고 칼로 그 뒤를 추격할 것이다.

13 “내가 분풀이를 다 한 다음에야 그들에 대한 내 분이 풀려서 내 마음이 시원할 것이다. 내가 나의 분노를 그들에게 다 쏟아 버리면 그들은 나 여호와가 열심으로 말한 사실을 알게 될 것이다.

14 “내가 또 너를 황폐하게 하여 네 주변에 있는 인접국들과 그 곳으로 지나가는 모든 사람들에게 치욕거리가 되게 하겠다.

15 내가 분노하여 무서운 책망으로 너를 벌할 것이니 네가 주변 나라들에게 수치와 조롱을 당하고 경고와 두려움의 대상이 될 것이다.

16 내가 기근의 무서운 화살로 너희를 쏘아 멸망시키되 기근을 점점 더 심하게 하여 너희 식량 공급을 끊어 버리겠다.

17 내가 기근과 맹수를 너희에게 보내 너희 가족을 죽일 것이며 너희 가운데 무서운 질병과 전쟁을 보내 피비린내 나는 일이 일어나도록 하겠다. 이것은 나 여호와의 말이다.”

God’s Razor of Judgment

“Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor(A) to shave(B) your head and your beard.(C) Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair. When the days of your siege come to an end, burn(D) a third(E) of the hair inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind.(F) For I will pursue them with drawn sword.(G) But take a few hairs and tuck them away in the folds of your garment.(H) Again, take a few of these and throw them into the fire(I) and burn them up. A fire will spread from there to all Israel.

“This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.(J) Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees more than the nations and countries around her. She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees.(K)

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: You have been more unruly than the nations around you and have not followed my decrees or kept my laws. You have not even[a] conformed to the standards of the nations around you.(L)

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations.(M) Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.(N) 10 Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents.(O) I will inflict punishment on you and will scatter all your survivors to the winds.(P) 11 Therefore as surely as I live,(Q) declares the Sovereign(R) Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary(S) with all your vile images(T) and detestable practices,(U) I myself will shave you; I will not look on you with pity or spare you.(V) 12 A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds(W) and pursue with drawn sword.(X)

13 “Then my anger will cease and my wrath(Y) against them will subside, and I will be avenged.(Z) And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.(AA)

14 “I will make you a ruin and a reproach among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.(AB) 15 You will be a reproach(AC) and a taunt, a warning(AD) and an object of horror to the nations around you when I inflict punishment on you in anger and in wrath and with stinging rebuke.(AE) I the Lord have spoken.(AF) 16 When I shoot at you with my deadly and destructive arrows of famine, I will shoot to destroy you. I will bring more and more famine upon you and cut off your supply of food.(AG) 17 I will send famine and wild beasts(AH) against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed(AI) will sweep through you, and I will bring the sword against you. I the Lord have spoken.(AJ)

Footnotes

  1. Ezekiel 5:7 Most Hebrew manuscripts; some Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac You have

And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.

Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.

Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.

Thus saith the Lord God; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.

And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.

10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord God; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

12 A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.

14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the Lord have spoken it.

16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
