Ezekiel 5:14

Ezekiel Dramatizes Jerusalem's Fall

¹³ And mine anger shall be accomplished, and I will satisfy my fury upon them, and I will comfort myself; and they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken in my jealousy, when I have accomplished my fury upon them. ¹⁴ And I will make thee a waste and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by. ¹⁵ And it shall be a reproach, and a taunt, an instruction, and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments upon thee in anger, and in fury, and in furious rebukes: I, Jehovah, have spoken.
