Ezekiel 5:14

Ezekiel Dramatizes Jerusalem's Fall

¹³ So My anger shall be fulfilled, and I will cause My fury to rest on them, and I will be comforted. And they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken it in My zeal, when I have fulfilled My fury in them. ¹⁴ And I will make you a waste and a curse among the nations that are all around you, in the sight of all who pass by. ¹⁵ So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, a chastening and a horror to the nations which are all around you, when I shall execute judgments against you in anger and in fury and in rebukes among them. I Jehovah have spoken it.
