Ezekiel 6:10-12
New English Translation
10 They will know that I am the Lord; my threats to bring this catastrophe on them were not empty.[a]
11 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Clap your hands, stamp your feet, and say, “Ah!” because of all the evil, abominable practices of the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine, and pestilence.[b] 12 The one far away will die by pestilence, the one close by will fall by the sword, and whoever is left and has escaped these[c] will die by famine. I will fully vent my rage against them.
