Ezekiel 12:17
15 And they will know that I am the LORD, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them throughout the countries.
16 But I will spare a few of them from sword and famine and plague, so that in the nations to which they go, they can recount all their abominations. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 “Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with quivering and anxiety.
19 Then tell the people of the land that this is what the Lord GOD says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in dread, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who dwell in it.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
