Ezekiel 14:12-21
The word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, if a land sins against Me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its supply of bread, to send famine through it, and to wipe out both man and animal from it,even if these three men— Noah, Daniel, and Job— were in it, they would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.“ If I allow dangerous animals to pass through the land and depopulate it so that it becomes desolate, with no one passing through it for fear of the animals,even if these three men were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord God—“ they could not deliver their sons or daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the land would be desolate.“ Or if I bring a sword against that land and say: Let a sword pass through it, so that I wipe out both man and animal from it,even if these three men were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord God—“ they could not deliver their sons or daughters, but they alone would be delivered.“ Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath on it with bloodshed to wipe out both man and animal from it,even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord God—“ they could not deliver their son or daughter. They would deliver only themselves by their righteousness.“ For this is what the Lord God says: How much worse will it be when I send My four devastating judgments against Jerusalem— sword, famine, dangerous animals, and plague— in order to wipe out both man and animal from it!

Ezekiel 5:12-17
A third of your people will die by plague and be consumed by famine within you; a third will fall by the sword all around you; and I will scatter a third to every direction of the wind, and I will draw a sword to chase after them.When My anger is spent and I have vented My wrath on them, I will be appeased. Then after I have spent My wrath on them, they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in My jealousy.“ I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of everyone who passes by.So you will be a disgrace and a taunt, a warning and a horror, to the nations around you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and furious rebukes. I, Yahweh, have spoken.When I shoot deadly arrows of famine at them, arrows for destruction that I will send to destroy you, inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will intensify the famine against you and cut off your supply of bread.I will send famine and dangerous animals against you. They will leave you childless, Jerusalem. Plague and bloodshed will sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, Yahweh, have spoken.”

Jeremiah 34:17-22
“ Therefore, this is what the Lord says: You have not obeyed Me by proclaiming freedom, each man for his brother and for his neighbor. I hereby proclaim freedom for you”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ to the sword, to plague, and to famine! I will make you a horror to all the earth’s kingdoms.As for those who disobeyed My covenant, not keeping the terms of the covenant they made before Me, I will treat them like the calf they cut in two in order to pass between its pieces.The officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the court officials, the priests, and all the people of the land who passed between the pieces of the calfwill be handed over to their enemies, to those who want to take their life. Their corpses will become food for the birds of the sky and for the wild animals of the land.I will hand Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials over to their enemies, to those who want to take their lives, to the king of Babylon’s army that is withdrawing.I am about to give the command”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, capture it, and burn it down. I will make Judah’s cities a desolation, without inhabitant.”

After Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had deported Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, the officials of Judah, and the craftsmen and metalsmiths from Jerusalem and had brought them to Babylon, the Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed before the temple of the Lord.One basket contained very good figs, like early figs, but the other basket contained very bad figs, so bad they were inedible.The Lord said to me,“ What do you see, Jeremiah?” I said,“ Figs! The good figs are very good, but the bad figs are extremely bad, so bad they are inedible.”
