Ezekiel 5:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹ “Therefore, as sure as I live,” declares the Lord God, “because you’ve defiled my sanctuary with every loathsome thing and every abomination, I’ll restrain myself, and I’ll show neither pity nor compassion.^{[a] 12} A third of you will die by pestilence, starving because of the famine in your midst. Another third will die violently by the violence of war^[b] around you. The final third I’ll scatter to the wind as I unsheathe my sword to pursue them.

¹³ “Only then will I stop being angry—my burning in anger. Then they’ll know that I’ve spoken out in my arduous anger. Only then will my burning anger^[c] against them be exhausted.
