Ezekiel 5:17
So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it. So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel 5:17 belongs to messages of warning, reproof, and judgment directed to sinful Israel and Jerusalem. This message of judgment was given while Ezekiel was among the captives in Babylonia. The verse declares that God would send famine and evil beasts to bereave the people, and that pestilence and bloodshed would pass through them, with the sword brought upon them. The verse confirms the warning by affirming that the Lord himself has spoken it.
