Ezekiel 5:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again. That is because you worship statues of gods. I hate them. ¹⁰ So parents will eat their own children inside the city. And children will eat their parents. I will punish you. And I will scatter to the winds anyone who is left alive. ¹¹ You have made my temple ‘unclean.’ You have set up statues of all your evil gods. You have done other things I hate. So I will cut you off just like Ezekiel cut off his hair. I will not spare you or feel sorry for you. And that is just as sure as I am alive,” announces the Lord and King.
