Context of Ezekiel 5:15

13When I have done all that to them, I will not be angry any longer. I will not punish them any more, because it is enough. When I have finished, they will know that I, the Lord, have spoken to them. I have been angry with them because they have not been faithful to me. 14I will cause your city to become a heap of stones. People of the other nations around you will laugh at you when they see what has happened to you. They will all laugh at you and insult you. They will see that I was very angry with you and I punished you. Then they will be afraid of my great anger. I, the Lord, say this! 16I will take away your bread so that famine kills more and more of you. It will seem that I am shooting arrows at you to destroy you. 17Famine or wild animals will kill you. Your children will no longer live. Illness and war will destroy you. I will send soldiers to attack you. I, the Lord, say this!’
