Ezekiel 5:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² When the blockade is over, burn one-third of your hair in a fire in the middle of the city. Take another third, and cut it up with a blade around the city. Then scatter the remaining third to the wind, and I will draw a sword and go after it. ³ Take a few strands of hair, and wrap them in the hem of your clothes. ⁴ Later, take some of them, and throw them in a fire and burn them up. From there a fire will spread throughout the whole nation of Israel.
