Ezekiel 5:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² When the days of the siege come to an end, burn one-third of the hair inside the city. Take another third and cut it up with the sword throughout the city. Scatter the last third to the wind while I pursue it with the sword. ³ In addition, take a few of these hairs and conceal them in a fold of your robe. ⁴ From these, however, take some and cast them into the fire and burn them completely. A fire will spread from there against the entire house of Israel.
