8 “So this is what the Almighty Lord says: I, too, am against you, and I will punish you in front of the nations.
9 Because of all the detestable things that you do, I will do things to you that I have never done before and will never do again.
10 That is why parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will punish you and scatter whoever is left to the wind.
11 “As I live, declares the Almighty Lord, because you have dishonored my holy worship place with all your disgusting and detestable things, I will have you killed. I will not have compassion for you or feel sorry for you.
12 One-third of you will die in plagues and be devoured in famines. Another third will die in battles against those around you. I will scatter the remaining third to the wind, and I will pursue them with a sword.
13 “I will unleash my anger. I will use my fury against you, and I will get revenge. When my fury is unleashed against you, you will know that I, the Lord, spoke to you while I was angry.
14 I will turn you into a wasteland and an object of ridicule among the nations around you and in the presence of everyone who passes by you.
