12. A third of you will die by disease or be destroyed by hunger inside your walls. A third will fall dead by the sword outside your walls. And a third I will scatter in every direction. I will chase them with a sword.
13. Then my anger will come to an end. I will use it up against them. Then I will be satisfied. Then they will know that I, the Lord God, have spoken. After I have carried out my anger against them, they will know how strongly I felt.
14. “I will make you a ruin. And I will make you a shame among the nations around you. All who pass by will see this.
15. Then you will be shamed by the nations around you. They will make fun of you. You will be a warning to them. They will be terrified. This will happen when I punish you in my great anger. I, the Lord, have spoken.
16. I will send a time of hunger to destroy you. Then I will make your hunger get even worse. I will cut off your supply of food.
