- "Your countryª [is] desolate,ª your citiesª [are] burnedª° with fire:ª your land,ª strangersª° devourª° it in your presence,¹ and [it is] desolate,ª as overthrownª by strangers.ª°" {Isa 1:7} + "That sendethª° ambassadorsª by the sea,ª even in vesselsª of bulrushesª uponª¹ the waters,ª [saying], Go,²°¹ ye swiftª messengers,ª to¹ a nationª scatteredª° and peeled,ª° to¹ a peopleª terribleª° from¹ their beginning¹ hitherto;ª a nationª meted outª² and trodden down,ª whose¹ landª the riversª have spoiled!ª°" {Isa 18:2} + "Now it came to pass¹ in the fourteenthªª yearª of kingª Hezekiah,ª [that] Sennacheribª kingª of Assyriaª came upª° against¹ all¹ the defencedª° citiesª of Judah,ª and tookª° them." {Isa 36:1} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª My peopleª went downª° aforetimeª into Egyptª to sojournª° there;¹ and the Assyrianª oppressedª° them without cause.ª ... Now¹ therefore, what¹ have I here,¹ saithª° the LORD,ª that¹ my peopleª is taken awayª° for nought?ª they that rule²° over¹ them make them to howl,ª° saithª° the LORD;ª and my nameª continuallyª every¹ dayª [is] blasphemed.ª°" {Isa 52:4-5} + "All¹ ye beastsª of the field,ª comeª° to devour,ª° [yea], all¹ ye beastsª in the forest.ª" {Isa 56:9} + "Israelª [is] a scatteredª° sheep;ª the lionsª have driven [him] away:ª° firstª the kingª of Assyriaª hath devouredª° him; and lastª this¹ Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª hath broken his bones.ª°" {Jer 50:17} + "Nebuchadrezzarª the kingª of Babylonª hath devouredª° me, he hath crushedª° me, he hath madeª° me an emptyª vessel,ª he hath swallowed me upª° like a dragon,ª he hath filledª° his bellyª with my delicates,ª¹ he hath cast me out.ª° ... The violenceª done to me and to my fleshª [be] upon¹ Babylon,ª shall the inhabitantª° of Zionª say;ª° and my bloodª upon¹ the inhabitantsª° of Chaldea,ª shall Jerusalemª say.ª°" {Jer 51:34-35} + "And it came to pass¹ in the ninthª yearª of his reign,ª° in the tenthª month,ª in the tenthª [day] of the month,ª [that] Nebuchadrezzarª kingª of Babylonª came,ª° he¹ and all¹ his army,ª against¹ Jerusalem,ª and pitchedª° against¹ it, and builtª° fortsª against¹ it round about.ª ... Then he put outª° the eyesª of Zedekiah;ª and the kingª of Babylonª boundª° him in chains,ª and carriedª° him to Babylon,ª and putª° him in prisonªª till¹ the dayª of his death.ª" {Jer 52:4-11} + "Andª whenª he was come near,ª° he beheldª° the¹ city,ª and weptª° overª it,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 19:41-44} + "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}
