Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 5 of Ezekiel. Ezekiel’s hair is used in another symbolic action concerning Jerusalem’s destiny. One portion is burned, another struck with the sword, and another scattered. The actions represent different dimensions of the judgment that will reach the city’s inhabitants.

Das eine dritte Teil sollst du mit Feuer verbrennen mitten in der Stadt, wenn die Tage der Belagerung um sind; das andere dritte Teil nimm und schlag's mit dem Schwert ringsumher; das letzte dritte Teil streue in den Wind, daß ich das Schwert hinter ihnen her ausziehe.
Una tercera parte quemarás con fuego en medio de la ciudad, cuando se cumplieren los días del cerco, y tomarás una tercera parte, y herirás con cuchillo alrededor de ella; y una tercera parte esparcirás al viento, y yo desenvainaré espada en pos de ellos.
Quemarás una tercera parte en medio de la ciudad cuando se cumplan los días del asedio. Tomarás otra tercera parte y la golpearás con la espada alrededor de la ciudad. La otra tercera parte la esparcirás al viento, y yo desenvainaré la espada tras ellos.
Brûles-en un tiers dans le feu, au milieu de la ville, lorsque les jours du siège seront accomplis; prends-en un tiers, et frappe-le avec le rasoir tout autour de la ville; disperses-en un tiers au vent, et je tirerai l'épée derrière eux.
Ardine la terza parte col fuoco, in mezzo della città, mentre si compieranno i giorni dell’assedio; poi prendine un’altra terza parte, e percuotila con la spada d’intorno alla città; e spargi l’altra terza parte al vento; ed io sguainerò la spada dietro a loro.
Uma terça parte queimarás no fogo, no meio da cidade, quando se cumprirem os dias do cerco; então tomarás outra terça parte, e feri-la-ás com uma faca ao redor dela; e a outra terça parte espalharás ao vento; porque desembainharei a espada atrás deles.
圍困的日子滿了,你要把三分之一放在城中用火焚燒;三分之一放在城的四圍用刀砍碎;三分之一任風吹散,我要拔刀追趕它們。
