Contemporary English Version
Ezekiel 5:11-13
Contemporary English Version
11 Your sins have disgusted me and made my temple unfit as a place to worship me. So I swear by my own life that I will cut you down[a] and show you no pity. 12 A third of you will die here in Jerusalem from disease or starvation. Another third will be killed in war. And I will scatter the last third of you in every direction, then track you down and kill you.
13 You will feel my fierce anger until I have finished taking revenge. Then you will know that I, the Lord, was furious because of your disobedience.

Ezekiel 5:11-13
New International Version
11 Therefore as surely as I live,(A) declares the Sovereign(B) Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary(C) with all your vile images(D) and detestable practices,(E) I myself will shave you; I will not look on you with pity or spare you.(F) 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(G) and pursue with drawn sword.(H)
13 “Then my anger will cease and my wrath(I) against them will subside, and I will be avenged.(J) And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.(K)
