Ezekiel 5

³ But you are to take a few strands of hair and secure them in the folds of your garment.

⁴ Again, take a few of these, throw them into the fire, and burn them. From there a fire will spread to the whole house of Israel.

⁵ This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.

⁶ But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’

⁷ Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You have been more insubordinate than the nations around you; you have not walked in My statutes or kept My ordinances, nor have you even conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.’
