New Testament

Ezekiel 5:1-3 New English Translation (NET)

1. “As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor. Shave off some of the hair from your head and your beard. Then take scales and divide up the hair you cut off.

2. Burn a third of it in the fire inside the city when the days of your siege are completed. Take a third and slash it with a sword all around the city. Scatter a third to the wind, and I will unleash a sword behind them.

3. But take a few strands of hair from those and tie them in the ends of your garment.
