A fourth part of you shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of you shall be consumed in the midst of you with famine; and [as for another] fourth part of you, I will scatter them to all the winds; and a fourth part of you shall fall by the sword round about you, and I will draw out a sword after them.

So I will send forth against you famine and evil beasts, and I will take vengeance upon you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through upon you; and I will bring a sword upon you round about. I, the Lord, have spoken.

and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth My sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and the unrighteous.

Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall My sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north;

Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord: Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,

And He made it ready for His hand to hold. The sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.

and what if even the tribe be rejected? It shall not be, says the Lord God.

and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate- they are given up to the slaughter of the sword; it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;

And I will summon against it even every fear, says the Lord; the sword of [every] man shall be against his brother.

And I will judge him with pestilence, and blood, and sweeping rain, and hailstones; and I will rain upon him fire and brimstone, and upon all that are with him, and upon many nations with him.

And I will bring upon you a sword avenging the cause of [My] covenant, and you shall flee for refuge to your cities; and I will send out death against you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies.

behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it. And I will utterly destroy them, and make them a horror, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.

How long will you smite, O sword of the Lord? How long will it be till you are quiet? Return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.

Son of man, if a land shall sin against Me by committing a trespass, then will I stretch out My hand upon it, and will break its staff of bread, and will send forth famine upon it, and cut off man and beast from it.

therefore thus says the Lord: I will also stretch out My hand upon Edom, and will utterly destroy out of it [both] man and beast, and I will make it desolate; and they that are pursued out of Teman shall fall by the sword.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: There shall yet be in this place, that is desolate of man and beast, and in all its cities, resting places for shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:

Let man and cattle be cut off; let the birds of the air and the fish of the sea be cut off; and the ungodly shall fail, and I will take away the transgressors from the face of the land, says the Lord.
