So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee: and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 5 of Ezekiel. Jerusalem holds a special position among the nations, but precisely because it received knowledge and responsibility, it will be judged for its rebellion. The Lord announces famine, sword, and dispersion. The passage connects election with responsibility: privileged status does not remove the consequences of unfaithfulness.

Ja, Hunger und böse, wilde Tiere will ich unter euch schicken, die sollen euch kinderlos machen; und soll Pestilenz und Blut unter dir umgehen, und ich will das Schwert über dich bringen. Ich, der HERR, habe es gesagt.
Enviaré pues sobre vosotros hambre, y malas bestias que te destruyan; y pestilencia y sangre pasarán por ti; y meteré sobre ti cuchillo. Yo Jehová he hablado.
Enviaré contra ustedes hambre y fieras que te dejarán sin hijos. La peste y la sangre pasarán por ti; traeré la espada contra ti. Yo, Jehová, he hablado».
J'enverrai contre vous la famine et les bêtes féroces, qui te priveront d'enfants; la peste et le sang passeront au milieu de toi; je ferai venir l'épée sur toi. C'est moi, l'Eternel, qui parle.
ed avrò mandata contro a voi la fame, e le bestie nocive, che ti dipopoleranno; e quando la pestilenza e il sangue saranno passati per mezzo di te; ed io avrò fatta venire sopra te la spada. Io, il Signore, ho parlato
E enviarei sobre vós a fome, e as feras que te desfilharão; e a peste e o sangue passarão por ti; e trarei a espada sobre ti. Eu, o SENHOR, falei.
我要令饑荒和惡獸臨到你,使你喪失兒女。瘟疫和流血的事必在你那裏盛行,我也要使刀劍臨到你。這是我─耶和華說的。」
