Ezekiel 14:19

“Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, &c.] 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”f189; 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”f190; 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.”

“in blood--not literally. In Hebrew, "blood" expresses every premature kind of death.”

“Jeremiah 14:0; Jeremiah 15:0 is a remarkable parallel to this prophecy. Here, as elsewhere, Ezekiel is commissioned to deliver to the exiles the same message which Jeremiah conveys to the inhabitants of Judaea. The answer discovers the nature of the questions which had been expressed or implied. (1) Can God cast out a people who are holy unto Himself? (2) Is it just to punish them with utter desolation? The prophet answers: (1) That when a people is so corrupt as to call down national judgment, individual piety shall save none but the individuals themselves. (2) The corrupt condition of the people shall be made so manifest, that none will question the justice of God in dealing thus severely…”
