1And you, son of man, take for yourself a sharp sword; take it as a barber’s razor, and pass it over your head and over your beard. Then take for yourself scales for weighing and divide the hair.

2A third you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed; and you shall take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city, and a third you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.

3And you shall take from there a few in number and bind them in the folds of your garment.

4And from them you shall take some more, and throw them into the midst of the fire and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.
