Ezekiel shaves his head and beard with a sword, then burns a third of the hair, strikes a third with the sword, and scatters a third to the wind, keeping only a few strands. This enacts the fate of Jerusalem’s people by pestilence, sword, and scattering, a judgment more severe than the nations’ because Jerusalem rebelled against God’s own statutes in the midst of the nations.
