Ezekiel 5:14

Ezekiel Dramatizes Jerusalem's Fall

¹³ So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation to find rest I upon a them, and will console myself,- And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon them. ¹⁴ And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, - in the eyes of every passer-by. ¹⁵ So shall it become a reproach and an insult warning and an astonishment, tob the nations that are round about thee, - in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:
