Verse 21
The Lord promised to send judgment by these four agents against Jerusalem: war, famine, wild animals, and disease (cf. Leviticus 26:22-26). Four agents of divine judgment would overcome even the influence of three extremely righteous individuals, super-saints.
"The number four conveys the idea of completeness with an allusion to the four quarters of the earth. The logic is this: If there would be no sparing in one judgment, how much more certain would the universal judgment be in the case of four devastating judgments?" [Note: Feinberg, p. 82. Cf. Revelation 6:1-8.]
