Yea,ª tenª acresª of vineyardª shall yieldª° oneª bath,ª and the seedª of an homerª shall yieldª° an ephah.ª" {Isa 5:9-10} + "Then saidª° I, Lord,ª how long?¹¹ And he answered,ª° Until¹¹ the citiesª be wastedª° without¹¹ inhabitant,ª° and the housesª without¹¹ man,ª and the landª be utterlyª desolate,ª° ... And the LORDª have removed²° men² far away,ª°¹¹ and [there be] a greatª forsakingª in the midstª of the land.ª" {Isa 6:11-12} + "In that¹ dayª shall his strongª citiesª be¹ as a forsakenª° bough,ª and an uppermost branch,ª which¹ they leftª° becauseª¹ of the childrenª of Israel:ª and there shall be¹ desolation.ª" {Isa 17:9} + "For¹ thou hast madeª° of a cityª¹ an heap;ª [of] a defencedª° cityª a ruin:ª a palaceª of strangersª° to be no city;ª¹ it shall neverª¹ be built.ª°" {Isa 25:2} + "Thy holyª citiesª are¹ a wilderness,ª Zionª is¹ a wilderness,ª Jerusalemª a desolation.ª" {Isa 64:10} + "Then will I makeª°¹ this¹ houseª like Shiloh,ª and will makeª° this¹ cityª a curseª to all¹ the nationsª of the earth.ª" {Jer 26:6} + "Micahª the Morasthiteª prophesiedª°¹ in the daysª of Hezekiahª kingª of Judah,ª and spakeª° to¹ all¹ the peopleª of Judah,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Zionª shall be plowedª° [like] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of a forest.ª" {Jer 26:18} + "The waysª of Zionª do mourn,ª because none¹¹ comeª° to the solemn feasts:ª all¹ her gatesª are desolate:ª° her priestsª sigh,ª° her virginsª are afflicted,ª° and she¹ [is] in bitterness.ª°" {Lam 1:4} + "The Lordª was¹ as an enemy:ª° he hath swallowed upª° Israel,ª he hath swallowed upª° all¹ her palaces:ª he hath destroyedª° his strong holds,ª and hath increasedª° in the daughterª of Judahª mourningª and lamentation.ª ... Her gatesª are sunkª° into the ground;ª he hath destroyedª° and brokenª° her bars:ª her kingª and her princesª [are] among the Gentiles:ª the lawª [is] no¹ [more]; her prophetsª also¹ findª° no¹ visionª from the LORD.ª¹" {Lam 2:5-9} + "Because of¹ the mountainª of Zion,ª which¹ is desolate,ª° the foxesª walkª° upon it." {Lam 5:18} + "Therefore,¹ ye mountainsª of Israel,ª hearª° the wordª of the Lordª GOD;ª Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GODª to the mountains,ª and to the hills,ª to the rivers,ª and to the valleys,ª to the desolateª° wastes,ª and to the citiesª that are forsaken,ª° which¹ became¹ a preyª and derisionª to the residueª of the heathenª that¹ [are] round about;ª¹" {Ezk 36:4} + "Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:12} + "Forª the daysª shall comeª° uponª thee,ª thatª thineª enemiesª shall cast²° a trench² aboutª°¹ thee,²¹ andª compass²° thee² round,ª°¹ andª keep²° thee² inª°¹ on every side,ª ... Andª shall lay²° thee² even with the ground,ª°¹ andª thyª childrenª withinª thee;ª andª they shall²° notª leaveª° inª theeª one stone² upon² another;ª¹ becauseªª thou knewestª° notª the¹ timeª of thyª visitation.ª" {Lke 19:43-44} + "Andª whenª ye shall seeª° Jerusalemª compassedª° withª armies,ª thenª knowª° thatª the¹ desolationª thereofª is nigh.ª° ... Andª they shall fallª° by the edgeª of the sword,ª andª shall be led away captiveª° intoª allª nations:ª andª Jerusalemª shall beª° trodden downª° ofª the Gentiles,ª untilª the timesª of the Gentilesª be fulfilled.ª°" {Lke 21:20-24}
