When I send against them the deadly arrows of famine which were for the destruction of those whom I will send to destroy you, then I will also intensify the famine upon you and break the staff of bread.Just because God uses someone, doesn't mean they're His friend. He can use anyone, in almost any way, and usually we'll never know it. But just because He uses someone doesn't mean that He agrees with what that person does.
In this case, God is condemning Jerusalem because of the wickedness of the people, and is using a foreign army to do it. However, He shows here that that army will also be destroyed in turn, for their evil. As a result, the Jews would be hurt some more, but that is God's will.
