Ezekiel

The book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 5 Vulgate

   1 Et tu, fili hominis, sume tibi gladium acutum radentem pilos et assumes eum et duces per caput tuum et per barbam tuam et assumes tibi stateram ponderis et divides eos.
   2 Tertiam partem igne combures in medio civitatis, post completionem dierum obsidionis; et assumens tertiam partem, concides gladio in circuitu eius; tertiam vero aliam disperges in ventum, et gladium nudabo post eos.
   3 Et sumes inde parvum numerum et ligabis eos in summitate pallii tui;
   4 et ex eis rursum tolles et proicies eos in medio ignis et combures eos igne; ex eo egredietur ignis. Et dices ad omnem domum Israel:
   5 Haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ista est Ierusalem! In medio gentium posui eam et in circuitu eius terras.
   6 Et contempsit iudicia mea, ut plus esset impia quam gentes, et praecepta mea ultra quam terrae, quae in circuitu eius sunt: iudicia enim mea proiecerunt et in praeceptis meis non ambulaverunt.
   7 Idcirco haec dicit Dominus Deus: Quia tumultuati estis magis quam gentes, quae in circuitu vestro sunt, et in praeceptis meis non ambulastis et iudicia mea non fecistis et iuxta iudicia gentium, quae in circuitu vestro sunt, non estis operati,
   8 ideo haec dicit Dominus Deus: Ecce ego ad te et ipse ego faciam in medio tui iudicia in oculis gentium
   9 et faciam in te, quae non feci et quibus similia ultra non faciam, propter omnes abominationes tuas.
   10 Ideo patres comedent filios in medio tui, et filii comedent patres suos, et faciam in te iudicia et ventilabo universas reliquias tuas in omnem ventum.
   11 Idcirco vivo ego, dicit Dominus Deus, vere pro eo quod sanctum meum violasti in omnibus offensionibus tuis et in omnibus abominationibus tuis, ego quoque radam, et non parcet oculus meus, et non miserebor.
   12 Tertia tui pars peste morietur et fame consumetur in medio tui, et tertia tui pars in gladio cadet in circuitu tuo, tertiam vero partem tuam in omnem ventum dispergam et gladium evaginabo post eos.
   13 Et complebo furorem meum et requiescere faciam indignationem meam in eis et consolabor; et scient quia ego Dominus locutus sum in zelo meo, cum implevero indignationem meam in eis.
   14 Et dabo te in desertum et in opprobrium in gentibus, quae in circuitu tuo sunt, in conspectu omnis praetereuntis;
   15 et eris opprobrium et blasphemia, exemplum et stupor in gentibus, quae in circuitu tuo sunt, cum fecero in te iudicia in furore et in indignatione et in castigationibus irae.
   16 Ego Dominus locutus sum. Quando misero sagittas famis pessimas in vos, quae erunt mortiferae, et quas mittam, ut destruam vos, et famem congregabo super vos et conteram vobis baculum panis;
   17 et immittam in vos famem et bestias pessimas, et absque liberis facient te, et pestilentia et sanguis transibunt per te, et gladium inducam super te. Ego Dominus locutus sum".

King James Version

   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.
