Ezekiel

Ezekiel 5:16–17

16When I shower youc with the deadly arrows of famine and destruction that I will send to destroy you, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supplyd of food. 17I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
