Yechezkel 5:3-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. Thou shalt also take thereof a few in mispar, and bind them in the folds of thy robes.

4. Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the eish, and burn them in the eish; for thereof shall an eish spread unto kol Bais Yisroel.

5. Thus saith Adonoi Hashem; This is Yerushalayim: I have set it in the midst of the Goyim and countries that are all around her.

6. And she hath rebelled against My mishpatim with resha'ah more than the Goyim, and My chukkot more than the countries that are all around her: for they have refused My mishpatim and My chukkot, they have not walked in them.

7. Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Because more than the Goyim that are all around you, ye have been ungovernable, and have not walked in My chukkot, neither have done My mishpatim, neither have done according to the mishpatim of the Goyim that are all around you;

8. Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Hineni, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute mishpatim in the midst of thee in the sight of the Goyim.

9. And I will do to thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of kol to'avot of thee.

10. Therefore the avot shall eat banim in the midst of thee, and the banim shall eat their avot; and I will execute shefatim (judgments, punishments) in thee, and kol she'erit of thee will I scatter unto kol ruach.

11. Therefore, as I live, saith Adonoi Hashem; Surely, because thou hast made My Mikdash tameh with all thy shikkutzim, and with all thine to'avot, therefore will I also withdraw; neither shall Mine eye pity, neither will I spare.
