Famine And Pestilence

• Reproof
• Seven

So Gad came to David, And told him, And said unto him, Shall seven years of Famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' Pestilence in thy land? now advise, And see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.

Either three years' Famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the Pestilence, in the land, And the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.

If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or Pestilence, or Famine, we stand before this house, And in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) And cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear And help.

When they fast, I will not hear their cry; And when they offer burnt offering And an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, And by the Famine, And by the Pestilence.

And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, And the people, And such as are left in this city from the Pestilence, from the sword, And from the Famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand of those that seek their life: And he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.

He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, And by the Famine, And by the Pestilence: but he that goeth out, And falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, And his life shall be unto him for a prey.

And I will send the sword, the Famine, And the Pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them And to their fathers.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation And kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, And that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, And with the Famine, And with the Pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

Why will ye die, thou And thy people, by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the Famine, And the Pestilence, And will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

And I will persecute them with the sword, with the Famine, And with the Pestilence, And will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, And an astonishment, And an hissing, And a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

• Fortifications
• Armies

Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; And the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, And of the Famine, And of the Pestilence: And what thou hast spoken is come to pass; And, behold, thou seest it.

And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, And by the Famine, And by the Pestilence;

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, And every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the Pestilence, And to the Famine; And I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, And shall live.

So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence: And none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.

Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go And to sojourn.

For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence:

A third part of thee shall die with the Pestilence, And with Famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: And a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; And I will scatter a third part into all the winds, And I will draw out a sword after them.

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.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, And stamp with thy foot, And say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the Famine, And by the Pestilence.

He that is far off shall die of the Pestilence; And he that is near shall fall by the sword; And he that remaineth And is besieged shall die by the Famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.

The sword is without, And the Pestilence And the Famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; And he that is in the city, Famine And Pestilence shall devour him.

But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the Famine, And from the Pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; And they shall know that I am the LORD.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, And the Famine, And the noisome beast, And the Pestilence, to cut off from it man And beast?
