Nations that disobey the commandment of God are taken in a net that is weighted.
In flouting God's commandments Israel was taken in by the very laws, which they vowed to obey. Since their focus was more on flesh than on Spirit they interpreted the Law literally. "For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God(Ro.10:3)". Righteousness of God is not in outward form of worship but loving God 'with all my heart, mind and soul.' Loving they neighbor is not merely an idea but is in relation to you. Any one may say I love so and so. Without showing how saying the word 'love' is merely wind. Loving another,- the only way he can be called a good neighbor, is in loving him/her how you love your own. It is what God demands from you. This being the case what shall we say of loving only the white or colored but as a travesty of God's commandment? "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets(Lk.22:40)".
Famine, pestilence and the sword,- the trident of God's vengeance is not by stealth and a gladiator uses it only after tiring the opponent in spending all his energy ducking the short sword or the net that the gladiator may frequently wave about as a matador does with his cape. Thus in a nation's downfall there would have occurred series of events steadily weakening its resources so when these three finally pin it down the famine has taken its toll already and pestilence finish off the weak body that has depleted its auto-immune system. Here we are seeing God's judgment on Israel. It is done for all to see and learn from.
God set Ezekiel as the watchman but he had to publicly decamp as a robber digs through mud-wall 'And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought ht it forth in the twilight."
