"Cuando envíe contra ellos las saetas mortíferas del hambre para destrucción, las cuales enviaré para destruiros, entonces también aumentaré el hambre sobre vosotros y romperé la provisión de pan.
Cuando arroje yo sobre ellos las perniciosas saetas del hambre, que serán para destrucción, las cuales enviaré para destruiros, entonces aumentaré el hambre sobre vosotros, y quebrantaré entre vosotros la provisión de pan.
Cuando arrojare yo sobre ellos las perniciosas saetas del hambre, que serán para destrucción, las cuales yo enviaré para destruiros, entonces aumentaré el hambre sobre vosotros, y quebrantaré entre vosotros el sustento del pan.

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.
