Ezechiele 14:19 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 14:19

Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land
Or the plague, which is the destruction that wastes at noon day; this is from the Lord, and a sore judgment it is: and pour out my fury upon it in blood;
or, "by blood" F25; by corrupting the blood, which is done when a man is seized with the pestilence. The Targum renders it, "with slaughter"; by slaying a great number of persons by that disease, as a token of fury and wrath, because of their transgressions. It may be rendered, "because of blood" F26; and so express the cause and reason of the judgment, the shedding of innocent blood: to cut off from it man and beast;
man by the pestilence, and beast by some contagious distemper or another.

Ezechiele 14:19 In-Context

17 Ovvero s’egli avviene che io faccia venire la spada sopra quel paese, e dica: Spada, passa per quel paese; e che io ne stermini uomini, e bestie,
18 quando questi tre uomini fossero in mezzo di quello, come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, essi non libererebbero nè figliuoli, nè figliuole; anzi eglino soli sarebbero liberati.
19 Ovvero, s’egli avviene che io mandi la pestilenza contro a quel paese, e spanda la mia ira sopra esso con sangue, per isterminarne uomini e bestie,
20 quando Noè, Daniele, e Giobbe, fossero in mezzo di quello, come io vivo, dice il Signore Iddio, non libererebbero nè figliuolo, nè figliuola; eglino soli libererebbero le lor persone per la lor giustizia.
21 Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Quanto meno, se io mando i miei quattro gravi giudicii, la spada, e la fame, e le bestie nocive, e la pestilenza, tutti insieme contro a Gerusalemme per isterminarne uomini e bestie!
