Ezekiel 5:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ So ·parents [fathers] among you will eat their ·children [sons], and ·children [sons] will eat their ·parents [fathers; ^Cbecause of horrific starvation during the siege; Deut. 28:53–57; Jer. 19:9; Lam. 4:10]. I will ·punish you [execute judgments] and will scatter to the winds all ·who are left alive [the survivors]. ¹¹ So the Lord God says: You have ·made my Temple unclean [defiled my sanctuary] with all your ·evil idols [abominations] and ·the hateful things you do [your detestable practices/or idols]. Because of this, as surely as I live, I will ·cut you off [or shave you; ^Ca humiliation]. ·I will have [^LMy eye will show] no pity, and I will show no mercy. ¹² A third of you will die by ·disease [plague; pestilence] or be ·destroyed [overcome; consumed] by ·hunger [famine] inside your walls. A third will fall dead by the sword ·outside your walls [all around]. And a third I will scatter in every direction as I chase them with a ·sword [^Ldrawn/unsheathed sword].
