3 aYou shall also take a small number of them and bind them in the edge of your garment.
4 Then take some of them again and athrow them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.
5 “Thus says the Lord God: ‘This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her.
6 She has rebelled against My judgments by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.’
7 Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have1 multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes anor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you’—
8 therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.
9 aAnd I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations.
10 Therefore fathers ashall eat their sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments among you, and all of you who remain I will bscatter to all the winds.
