📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Ezekiel 5 is a symbolic prophecy in which the prophet takes a sharp knife and a barber's razor to his head and beard, weighs the hair, and divides it into thirds—a third burned in the fire, a third struck with a knife, and a third scattered to the wind with a sword drawn after them—while a few hairs are bound in his skirts and a few cast into the fire. The Lord explains that this represents Jerusalem's judgment for her wickedness and abominations worse than the surrounding nations, with famine, sword, and pestilence consuming the people. The chapter closes by declaring that these furious judgments will be a reproach, taunt, and astonishment to the nations, and that the Lord will send famine, evil beasts, pestilence, and blood upon them.

(1) And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
