God Kills Children

“As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, I will cut you off completely.  I will show you no pity at all because you have defiled my Temple with idols and vile practices.  A third of your people will die in the city from famine and disease.  A third of them will be slaughtered by the enemy outside the city walls.  And I will scatter a third to the winds and chase them with my sword.  Then at last my anger will be spent, and I will be satisfied.  And when my fury against them has subsided, all Israel will know that I, the LORD, have spoken to them in my jealous anger.  “So I will turn you into a ruin, a mockery in the eyes of the surrounding nations and to everyone who travels by.  You will become an object of mockery and taunting and horror.  You will be a warning to all the nations around you.  They will see what happens when the LORD turns against a nation in furious rebuke.  I, the LORD, have spoken! (Ezekiel 5:11-15)
