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.
11 ‘Therefore, as I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘surely, because you have adefiled My sanctuary with all your bdetestable things and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; cMy eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.
12 aOne-third of you shall die of the pestilence, and be consumed with famine in your midst; and one-third shall fall by the sword all around you; and bI will scatter another third to all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after cthem.
