Aprs que j'aurai dcoch sur eux les mauvaises flches de la famine, qui seront mortelles, lesquelles je dcocherai pour vous dtruire, encore j'augmenterai la famine sur vous, et je vous romprai le bton du pain.
Quand je lancerai contre eux les flches pernicieuses et mortelles de la famine, que j'enverrai pour vous dtruire; car j'ajouterai la famine vos maux, et je briserai le pain qui vous soutient.
Quand j'enverrai parmi eux les flches funestes de la famine qui seront pour la destruction, lesquelles j'enverrai pour vous dtruire, j'augmenterai sur vous la famine, et je briserai pour vous le bton du pain;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famines,.... Either famine itself, which is as an arrow; it is taken out of the quiver of the Lord of hosts, and is shot by him; and moves swiftly when it has a commission; and is very destructive: or arrows which bring on a famine, such as drought, excessive rains, blasting, mildew, locusts, c. or arrows which the famine brings, as leanness, faintness, blackness, and death and, in either sense, are evil ones; and are sent of God for the following end:
which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy you; God's design in sending them was to destroy, and that was answered; and a very destroying arrow famine is, and therefore called evil:
and I will increase the famine upon you; or "gather y [it] upon", or "against you"; as if it was an army with bows and arrows:
and will break your staff of bread: take away the virtue from the little they had, that that should not nourish and satisfy;

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 5:16. The evil arrows of famine — Famine and pestilence are represented as poisoned arrows, inflicting death wherever they wound. The ancients represented them in the same way.
