John Gill Commentary Ezekiel 5:17

"and I will 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, Jehovah, have spoken it." — Ezekiel 5:17 (ASV)

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 literally lions, wolves, bears which are threatened the Jews, in case of disobedience, (Leviticus 26:22); and which sometimes were sent, (2 Kings 17:24); and they shall bereave you; that is, of your children, whom the evil beasts should destroy; they not being able to defend themselves against them, as men can: and pestilence and blood shall pass through you, and I will bring the sword upon you; the pestilence, famine, sword, which is meant by blood, and evil beasts, are the Lord's four sore judgments; see (Ezekiel 14:21). I the Lord have spoken [it]: who was able to perform it, and did, both at the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and by Titus.
