5Thus says the Lord GOD: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations, with lands all around her.

6And she rebelled against my judgments with wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they rejected my judgments, and they did not walk in my statutes.

7Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have been more turbulent than the nations that are around you, you have not walked in my statutes, and you have not carried out my judgments; and you have not even acted according to the judgments of the nations that are around you.

8Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I myself am against you, and I will execute judgments in your midst before the eyes of the nations.

9And I will do in you what I have not done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.

10Therefore fathers will eat sons in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.
