Ezekiel 5:4-6

New American Standard Bible

⁴ Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will ^[a]spread to all the house of Israel.

⁵ “This is what the Lord ^[b]God says: ‘This is ^(A)Jerusalem; I have placed her at the ^(B)center of the nations, with lands around her. ⁶ But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes ^(C)more than the lands which surround her; for they have ^(D)rejected My ordinances and have not walked ^[c]in My statutes.’
