- a time to break:
- "And now¹ go to; I will tellª°¹ you¹ what¹ I¹ will doª° to my vineyard:ª I will take awayª° the hedgeª thereof, and it shall be¹ eaten up;ª° [and] break downª° the wallª thereof, and it shall be¹ trodden down:ª ... And I will layª° it waste:ª it shall not¹ be pruned,²°¹ nor¹ digged;ª° but there shall come upª° briersª and thorns:ª I will also commandª°¹ the cloudsª that they rain²° no rainª¹¹ upon¹ it." {Isa 5:5-6} + "That confirmethª° the wordª of his servant,ª and performethª° the counselª of his messengers;ª that saithª° to Jerusalem,ª Thou shalt be inhabited;ª° and to the citiesª of Judah,ª Ye shall be built,ª° and I will raise upª° the decayed placesª thereof:" {Isa 44:26} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ [that] like as¹ I have watched¹ over²°¹ them, to pluck up,ª° and to break down,ª° and to throw down,ª° and to destroy,ª° and to afflict;ª° so¹ will I watch¹ over²°¹ them, to build,ª° and to plant,ª° saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:28} + "Thus¹ shalt thou sayª° unto¹ him, The LORDª saithª° thus;¹ Behold,¹ [that] which¹ I have builtª° will I¹ break down,ª° and that which¹ I have plantedª° I¹ will pluck up,ª° even this¹ whole¹ land.ª" {Jer 45:4} + "So will I break downª°¹ the wallª that¹ ye have daubedª° with untemperedª [morter], and bring²° it down¹ to¹ the ground,ª so that the foundationª thereof shall be discovered,ª° and it shall fall,ª° and ye shall be consumedª° in the midstª thereof: and ye shall knowª° that¹ I¹ [am] the LORD.ª" {Ezk 13:14} + "Knowª° therefore and understand,ª° [that] from¹ the going forthª of the commandmentª to restoreª° and to buildª° Jerusalemª unto¹ the Messiahª the Princeª [shall be] sevenª weeks,ª and threescoreª and twoª weeks:ª the streetª shall be builtª° again,ª° and the wall,ª even in troublousª times.ª ... And he shall confirmª° the covenantª with manyª for oneª week:ª and in the midstª of the weekª he shall cause the sacrificeª and the oblationª to cease,ª° and for¹ the overspreadingª of abominationsª he shall make [it] desolate,ª° even until¹ the consummation,ª and that determinedª° shall be pouredª° upon¹ the desolate.²°¹" {Dan 9:25-27} + "Then the angelª of the LORDª answeredª° and said,ª° O LORDª of hosts,ª how long¹¹ wilt thou¹ not¹ have mercy²° on¹¹ Jerusalemª and on the citiesª of Judah,ª against which¹ thou hast had indignationª° these¹ threescore and tenª years?ª" {Zch 1:12}
