In context

8Behold, I am against thee, and I will execute judgment in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

9And I will do in thee things which I have not done, and the like of which I will not do again, for all thine abominations.

— Ezekiel 5:10 —

11Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord; surely, because thou hast defiled my holy things with all thine abominations, I also will reject thee; mine eye shall not spare, and I will have no mercy.

12A fourth part of thee shall be cut off by pestilence, and a fourth part of thee shall be consumed in the midst of thee with famine: and as for another fourth part of thee, I will scatter them to every wind; and a fourth part of thee shall fall by the sword round about thee, and I will draw out a sword after them.
