Ezekiel 5:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² You are to burn up a third of it in the city when the days of the siege have ended;^(A) you are to take a third and slash it with the sword all around the city; and you are to scatter a third to the wind, for I will draw a sword to chase after them. ³ But you are to take a few strands from the hair and secure them in the folds of your robe.^{(B) 4} Take some more of them, throw them into the fire, and burn them in it.^(C) A fire will spread from it to the whole house of Israel.
