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 בדם "per sanguinem", Piscator. ; 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 "Propter sanguinem", Vatablus. ; 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.
