Ezekiel 5:1-3

Common English Bible

5 You, human one, take a sharp sword. Use it like a razor and shave your head and beard. Then use scales to divide the hair. ² At the end of the siege, burn one-third of it in the city. Strike another third with the sword left and right. Then scatter one-third to the wind and let loose^[a] the sword after it. ³ From that third, take a few strands and hide them in your garment.
