Ezekiel 5:2-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

2. After you attack the brick that stands for Jerusalem, burn one pile of your hair on the brick. Chop up the second pile and let the small pieces of hair fall around the brick. Throw the third pile into the wind, and I will strike it with my own sword.

3. Keep a few of the hairs and wrap them in the hem of your clothes.

4. Then pull out a few of those hairs and throw them in the fire, so they will also burn. This fire will spread, destroying everyone in Israel.

5. I am the Lord God, and I have made Jerusalem the most important place in the world, and all other nations admire it.

6. But the people of Jerusalem rebelled and refuse to obey me. They ignored my laws and have become even more sinful than the nations around them.
