Ezekiel 5:17

5:17 I will send famine and wild beasts against you and they will take your children from you. 1  Plague and bloodshed will overwhelm you, 2  and I will bring a sword against you. I, the Lord, have spoken!”

Ezekiel 7:19

7:19 They will discard their silver in the streets, and their gold will be treated like filth. 3  Their silver and gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord’s fury. 4  They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs because their wealth 5  was the obstacle leading to their iniquity. 6 

Ezekiel 14:21

14:21 “For this is what the sovereign Lord says: How much worse will it be when I send my four terrible judgments – sword, famine, wild animals, and plague – to Jerusalem 7  to kill both people and animals!

1 tn Heb “will bereave you.”

2 tn Heb “will pass through you.” This threat recalls the warning of Lev 26:22, 25 and Deut 32:24-25.

3 tn The Hebrew term can refer to menstrual impurity. The term also occurs at the end of v. 20.

4 sn Compare Zeph 1:18.

5 tn Heb “it.” Apparently the subject is the silver and gold mentioned earlier (see L. C. Allen, Ezekiel [WBC], 1:102).

6 tn The “stumbling block of their iniquity” is a unique phrase of the prophet Ezekiel (Ezek 14:3, 4, 7; 18:30; 44:12).
