11. “Therefore, as I am the living God — this is the word of the Sovereign Lord — because you defiled my Temple with all the evil, disgusting things you did, I will cut you down without mercy.
12. A third of your people will die from sickness and hunger in the city; a third will be cut down by swords outside the city; and I will scatter the last third to the winds and pursue them with a sword.
13. “You will feel all the force of my anger and rage until I am satisfied. When all this happens, you will be convinced that I, the Lord, have spoken to you because I am outraged at your unfaithfulness.
14. All those from the nations around you who pass by will sneer at you and keep their distance.
