1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber’s razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair . 2 Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. 3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts. 4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
5 ¶ Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. 6 And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. 7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; 8 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. 9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations. 10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds. 11 Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
12 ¶ A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. 13 Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them. 14 Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. 15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it . 16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: 17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it .

Hizqiyol sochini oldiradi
1 Egamiz shunday dedi: “Ey inson, oʻtkir bir qilich ol. Ustara oʻrniga oʻshani ishlatib, soching bilan soqolingni qirib tashla . Soʻng sochingni tarozida oʻlchab, teng uch qismga boʻl. 2 Shaharning qamal kunlari tugaganda, sochingning bir qismini gʻishtga chizilgan shahar oʻrtasida yondir. Ikkinchi qismini shahar atrofiga sochib tashlab, qilich bilan maydala. Uchinchi qismini esa shamolda uchirtirib yuborgin. Men qilichimni yalangʻochlab, shahar aholisini taʼqib qilaman. 3 Sochingning ozginasini olib, choponing etagiga qistirib qoʻy. 4 Oʻsha sochingning bir qismini olovga tashlab, yondirib yubor. Undan chiqqan olov avj olib, butun Isroil xalqiga yoyiladi.”
5 Egamiz Rabbiy shunday deb aytmoqda: “Mana, Quddusga bir qarang. Men uni xalqlarning oʻrtasiga joylashtirdim, boshqa yurtlar uni oʻrab turibdi. 6 Ammo u qonun–qoidalarimga qarshi chiqdi, atrofdagi xalqlardan koʻra, koʻproq qabihlik qildi. U qonun–qoidalarimni rad etdi, farmonlarimga boʻysunmadi.”
7 Shuning uchun Egamiz Rabbiy Quddusga aytmoqda: “Sizlar badkirdorlikda atrofingizdagi xalqlardan ham oʻtib tushdingiz. Farmonlarimga boʻysunmadingiz, qonun–qoidalarimga rioya qilmadingiz. Axloqsizlikda boshqa xalqlardan battar boʻldingiz. 8 Ey Quddus ahli, Men Oʻzim sizlarga qarshi chiqaman, — deb aytmoqda Egamiz Rabbiy. — Xalqlarning koʻzi oldida sizlarni jazolayman. 9 Qilgan jirkanch ishlaringiz tufayli Men boshingizga dahshatli bir koʻrgilik keltiraman. Men bunaqasini hech qachon qilmaganman va bundan keyin ham qilmayman. 10 Quddusda ota–onalar oʻz farzandlarining etini, farzandlar esa oʻz ota–onalarining etini yeydilar. Men sizlarni jazolayman, omon qolganlaringizni dunyoning toʻrt tomoniga tarqatib yuboraman. 11 Men, Egangiz Rabbiy, barhayot Xudo boʻlganim haqi ont ichib aytamanki, sizlarni yoʻq qilaman. Sizlar muqaddas maskanimni makruh butlaru jirkanch odatlaringiz bilan harom qildingiz. Shuning uchun sizlarga achinmayman, rahm qilmayman. 12 Xalqingizning uchdan bir qismi oʻlatu qahatchilikdan nobud boʻladi. Ikkinchi qismi jangda, shahar tashqarisida qirilib ketadi. Qolgan qismini esa Men toʻrt tomonga tarqatib yuboraman, qilichimni yalangʻochlab taʼqib qilaman.
13 Shunda gʻazabimdan tushaman, qahrimni sizlarga sochib boʻlganimdan keyingina taskin topaman. Qahrimni sizlarga sochib boʻlganimdan keyin, Men, Egangiz, rashk ustida gapirganimni sizlar bilib olasiz. 14 Men sizlarni xonavayron qilaman. Yon–atrofda yashovchi xalqlar hamda oʻtgan–ketgan odamlar sizlarni mazax qiladilar. 15 Men sizlarni qahru gʻazab bilan hukm qilganimda, jahl ustida qattiq jazolaganimda, atrofdagi xalqlar dahshatga tushadilar. Ular bundan saboq oladilar, sizlarni esa mazax qilib, ustingizdan kuladilar. Bularni Men, Egangiz, aytdim. 16 Men ustingizga qahatchilikning halokatli oʻqlarini yogʻdiraman, sizlarni yoʻq qilaman. Shahardagi ocharchilikni avjiga chiqaraman, sizlarni bir burda nonga zor qilaman. 17 Men sizlarni qahatchilikka giriftor qilaman, ustingizga yovvoyi hayvonlarni yuboraman. Ular sizlarni farzandlaringizdan judo qiladi. Yurtingizda oʻlat va qotillik hukm suradi, Men sizlarga qarshi dushman qilichini yalangʻochlayman. Bularni Men, Egangiz, aytdim.”
