Ezekiel 5:17 Summary

This verse, Ezekiel 5:17, is a warning from God that He will send judgments such as famine, wild beasts, and plague if His people do not obey Him. This is not just a historical warning, but a principle that applies to all people, as seen in verses like Jeremiah 18:7-10. God's desire is to turn us back to Himself, and He often uses difficult circumstances to do so, as seen in Romans 2:4. By repenting of our sins and seeking God's face, we can avoid His judgments and experience His love and mercy instead (2 Chronicles 7:14).

Frequently Asked Questions

God sends famine and wild beasts as a form of judgment to turn His people back to Himself, as seen in Ezekiel 5:17 and also in Leviticus 26:22, where it is written that God will send wild beasts to destroy the land if His people do not obey Him.

How does this verse relate to the concept of God's wrath?

This verse illustrates God's wrath as a real and terrifying consequence of sin, as stated in Romans 1:18, where it says that God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.

Is this verse only applicable to the Israelites, or does it have a broader application?

While this verse was specifically addressed to the Israelites, its principles can be applied to all nations and peoples, as seen in Jeremiah 18:7-10, where God says that He will judge any nation that does not obey Him.

How can we avoid the judgments mentioned in this verse?

We can avoid God's judgments by repenting of our sins and turning to Him, as seen in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where it says that if God's people will humble themselves and seek His face, He will forgive their sins and heal their land.

Gill's Exposition on Ezekiel 5:17

So will I send upon you famine, and evil beasts,.... Famine is repeated for the further confirmation of it; and "evil beasts" are added, by whom are meant, not the Chaldeans, comparable to such; but

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Ezekiel 5:17

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.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Ezekiel 5:17

Evil beasts; Heb. evil beast: either the king of Babylon, which, like a ravenous and insatiable beast, tore and devoured all. Or, literally, lions, bears, &c., which are one of his four sore judgments, . Bereave thee, of your children, friends, and your own life; when you flee to mountains and caves, for fear of the Chaldees, where you seek your safety you shall find your death, and be torn to pieces. Thy land shall be the common road and highway for pestilence and blood, as the Hebrew denotes, and they shall lodge in thy cities, in Jerusalem, as if they were the appointed receptacles for these guests. Here are the four sore plagues which God wastes nations with, all sent out against the Jews, and their commission signed from heaven with a witness, Ourself. I have spoken it, saith the Lord.

Trapp's Commentary on Ezekiel 5:17

Ezekiel 5:17 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].Ver. 17. Evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee.] Rob thee of thy children, destroy thy cattle, make thee few in number, and thy highway desolate, as was long before threatened. I the Lord have spoken it.] I Jehovah, who will give being to my menaces as well as to my promises.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Ezekiel 5:17

Verse 17. So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee] Wild beasts always multiply in depopulated countries. In England, wolves abounded when the country was thinly peopled, it is now full of inhabitants, and there is not one wolf in the land. Nebuchadnezzar and his Chaldeans may be called here evil beasts. He is often compared to a lion, Jeremiah 4:7; Daniel 7:14; on account of the ravages made by him and his Chaldean armies.

Cambridge Bible on Ezekiel 5:17

17. evil beasts] The three great plagues often specified are, famine, pestilence and sword (ch. Ezekiel 14:13; Ezekiel 14:17; Ezekiel 14:19), to which a fourth is sometimes added, evil beasts (ch. Ezekiel 14:15; Ezekiel 14:21, Ezekiel 33:27, Ezekiel 34:25; Leviticus 26:22; Deuteronomy 32:24). In the above verses the cumulative expressions are often wanting in LXX. e.g. Ezekiel 5:11 the words “and with all thine abominations.” Differences of this kind do not affect the sense, and it is unnecessary to notice them in detail.

Whedon's Commentary on Ezekiel 5:17

17. Evil beasts — With the famine of the siege and the blood of slaughter comes the plague of evil beasts (Ezekiel 14:15; Ezekiel 14:21; Ezekiel 33:27; Ezekiel 34:25). This shows the desolation of the land.
