Ezekiel 5:14

Ezekiel Dramatizes Jerusalem's Fall

¹³ And mine anger was completed, and I caused my wrath to rest upon them, and I was comforted: and they shall know that I Jehovah spake in my zeal in my completing my wrath upon them. ¹⁴ And I will give thee for a waste, and for a reproach among the nations which are round about thee, before the eyes of all passing by. ¹⁵ And it was a reproach and reviling, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations which are round about thee, in my doing judgments in thee in anger and in wrath, and in reproofs of wrath. I Jehovah spake.
