5:12,17 Ezekiel’s three-part judgment formula (“famine,” “plague,” and “sword”) appears here for the first time, and recurs in 6:11,12; 7:15; 12:16; 14:21. Jeremiah frequently used the same formula (Jr 14:12; 21:7,9; 24:10; 27:8,13; 29:17-18; 32:24,36; 34:17; 38:2; 42:17,22; 44:13). Both prophets used the formula to indicate that judgment would be severe and extensive; the conditions were based on the curses of the Mosaic covenant (Lv 26:29; Dt 28:53-55).
