Ezekiel 5:11-13
International Standard Version
11 “Therefore, as sure as I live,” declares the Lord God, “because you’ve defiled my sanctuary with every loathsome thing and every abomination, I’ll restrain myself, and I’ll show neither pity nor compassion.[a] 12 A third of you will die by pestilence, starving because of the famine in your midst. Another third will die violently by the violence of war[b] around you. The final third I’ll scatter to the wind as I unsheathe my sword to pursue them.
13 “Only then will I stop being angry—my burning in anger. Then they’ll know that I’ve spoken out in my arduous anger. Only then will my burning anger[c] against them be exhausted.

Ezekiel 5:11-13
New International Version
11 Therefore as surely as I live,(A) declares the Sovereign(B) Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary(C) with all your vile images(D) and detestable practices,(E) I myself will shave you; I will not look on you with pity or spare you.(F) 12 A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds(G) and pursue with drawn sword.(H)
13 “Then my anger will cease and my wrath(I) against them will subside, and I will be avenged.(J) And when I have spent my wrath on them, they will know that I the Lord have spoken in my zeal.(K)
