Ezk 5:1-4 (KJVA)
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 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.
3 Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.


Dalle, please create for us a watercolor-styled painting inspired by the biblical passage Ezekiel 5:1-4. In the painting, depict an aged man with a sharp knife and a barber's razor. He is cutting his hair and beard. Additionally, include scales for weighing nearby. Focus on the action of dividing the hair between burning a portion, and scattering another in the wind. Remember to not include any text or words within the illustration. The scene should be depicted in such a way that it feels respectful and devotional to Christianity.
