Thomas Covenant

"And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, take iT as a barber's razor, and pass it over your head and beard; then take scale to weigh and divide the hair.  You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the seige are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter in the wind:  I will draw out a sword after them."
                                    "Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire.  From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel."
"Thus says the Lord God:  'This is Jerusalem; I have set her in the midst of the nations and the countries all around her.
'She has rebelled against My judgements by doing wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that are all around her; for they have refused My judgments, and they have not walked in My statutes.'
"Therefore thus says the Lord God:  'Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you'---
"Therefore thus says the Lord God:  'Indeed I, even I, am against you and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations.
'And I will do among you what I have never done, and the like of which I will never do again, because of all your abominations. 
                            And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision I saw in the plain.  Then He said to me, "Son of man, lift your eyes now toward the north."  So I lifted my eyes toward the north, and there, north of the alter gate, was this image of jealousy in the entrance.  Furthermore He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary?  Now turn again, you will see greater abominations."  Then He said to me, "Son of man, dig into the wall"; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door.  So He brought me to the door of the north gate of the Lord's house; and to my dismay, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.
